Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 cup milk (whole or buttermilk for extra fluffiness)

¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat Your Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the pumpkin puree, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.

Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker if necessary (some non-stick waffle makers may not need it). Pour the batter into the preheated waffle maker, using about ½ cup of batter per waffle (or as per your waffle maker's instructions). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 4-6 minutes.

Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the maker and repeat the process with the remaining batter. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, maple syrup, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a delightful finish.

Enjoy: Enjoy your Fluffy Pumpkin Spice Waffles as a cozy breakfast or a special treat any time of the day!
