Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1 large egg

1 cup whole milk (or your preferred milk alternative)

1 cup pure pumpkin puree (ensure it’s not pumpkin pie filling)

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil for a richer flavor)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure an even cook for your waffles.

Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Whisk these together thoroughly to ensure they’re well combined and aerated. Set this bowl aside for later.

Combine the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, crack the large egg and add the milk, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.

Integrate the Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the mixtures together. Aim for a unified batter, but be cautious not to overmix—it’s perfectly fine if some lumps remain, as this will help the waffles stay fluffy.

Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with a spray of cooking oil or a brush of melted oil to prevent sticking. Depending on your waffle maker's size, pour 1/2 to 3/4 cup of batter onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions—this typically takes about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle from the iron using a fork or tongs. Serve them hot with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, chopped pecans, or a light dusting of powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.

Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining batter, adjusting the amount of batter per waffle as needed, until all the batter has been used.
