Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup all purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron or pan according to the manufacturer’s directions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt until well blended. Set this mixture aside.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil together until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the waffles tender.
- Rest the Batter: Let the pumpkin waffle batter sit for 3 to 5 minutes. This helps hydrate the dry ingredients and improves texture.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly spray or grease the waffle iron or pan as needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Scoop the batter into the waffle iron and cook according to your machine’s directions, typically 3 to 5 minutes, until the waffles are fragrant and steam diminishes.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, allow the waffles to cook a little longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- You can substitute pumpkin pie spice with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if you don’t have it on hand.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid dense waffles.
- Serve waffles immediately or keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
- These waffles freeze well. Reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
