Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 cup pumpkin purée

• 2 tbsp brown sugar

• 2 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

• 1/4 tsp ground cloves

• 1/4 tsp salt

• 1 large egg

• 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

• 1/4 cup melted butter or vegetable oil

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin purée, brown sugar, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

Step 6

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, whipped cream, nuts, or fresh fruit.

Tips

• Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar or cinnamon on top for extra flavor.

• These waffles freeze well—just reheat in the toaster for a quick breakfast during busy fall mornings.
