Ingredients
2 cups + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1.5 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup pumpkin puree (canned, not pie filling)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups whole milk, room temperature
Instructions
Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat.
Preheat your oven to 200°F to keep cooked waffles warm.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, ginger, and salt.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the room-temperature eggs, pumpkin puree, melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, vanilla, and milk until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not over-mix.
Lightly grease your waffle iron with non-stick spray or a bit of oil.
Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, according to your waffle maker’s instructions.
Transfer cooked waffles to the preheated oven to stay warm while you finish the remaining batter.
Notes
Ensure ingredients like milk and eggs are at room temperature to create a smooth, cohesive batter that cooks evenly. Spoon and level your flour properly to avoid dense waffles. If you prefer a crunchier waffle, let the steam release for a few seconds longer before opening the iron.
