Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • ¼ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter (cooled)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients. Stir your pumpkin puree to ensure it’s smooth and let the melted butter cool slightly so it won’t cook the eggs when mixed.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Create the Batter: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, folding gently just until combined to keep the batter tender—avoid overmixing.
  5. Cook Your Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it, then pour in the batter. Cook until waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes depending on your machine.
  6. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with your favorite toppings to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix Batter: Stir gently to keep waffles light and fluffy and avoid tough texture.
  • Warm Waffle Iron: Fully preheat for even browning and crispy edges.
  • Use Fresh Spices: Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg enhance flavor more than old spices.
  • Measure Pumpkin Puree Accurately: Too much liquid can cause soggy waffles.
  • Serve Immediately: Best enjoyed fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven briefly.
