Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Whipped cream, for serving
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

How to Make Pumpkin Waffles with Maple Syrup

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
2. In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and brown sugar until smooth.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
4. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil if necessary.
5. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the hot waffle maker (usually about ½ to ¾ cup, depending on your waffle maker) and close the lid. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the waffle and keep it warm in a low oven while you repeat with the remaining batter.
7. Serve the waffles warm, topped with whipped cream and drizzled with maple syrup.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rise.
• Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the waffles light and fluffy.
• If you prefer crispier waffles, let them cook a little longer, checking frequently.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or walnuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
• Substitute part of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nutty taste.
• Spice things up by adding a pinch of ginger or cloves to the batter.

What to Serve With It

• Fresh fruit, such as sliced bananas or berries
• A side of crispy bacon or sausage
• A sprinkle of powdered sugar for added sweetness
• Greek yogurt or flavored yogurt for extra creaminess
