Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Maple syrup, for drizzling

How to Make Pumpkin Waffles with Maple Syrup

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until well combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
5. Grease the preheated waffle iron with a little cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
6. Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (usually about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your iron) and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically about 3-5 minutes.
7. Carefully remove the waffles and keep warm in a low oven while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
8. 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 the best rise in your waffles.
• Don’t overmix the batter; a few lumps will yield a lighter waffle.
• To keep waffles warm while cooking, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a warm oven set to 200°F.

Easy Variations

• Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
• Swap out half of the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour for added nutrition.
• Experiment with spices by adding a pinch of ginger or allspice for a different flavor profile.

What to Serve With It

• Crispy bacon or sausage for a savory contrast to the sweet waffles.
• Fresh fruit such as sliced bananas, apples, or berries.
• A dollop of yogurt for added creaminess and tang.
• A side of warm apple cider for the ultimate fall breakfast experience.
