Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup milk (you can use dairy or any non-dairy alternative)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil

Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This step ensures that the waffles cook evenly.

    Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Set this mixture aside to allow the leavening agents to activate.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, packed brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter or coconut oil. Use a whisk or electric mixer to blend these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

        Combine the Mixtures: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently stir until just combined. Take care not to over-mix; it’s perfectly fine if the batter has a few small lumps.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush it with a small amount of oil. Pour the recommended amount of batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it out evenly to cover the grid. Close the lid and cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s guidelines, usually around 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp.

            Cool and Cut: Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and let them cool for a couple of minutes. When they are cool enough to handle, cut the waffles into strips or dippers for easy snacking.

              Serve: Arrange the waffle dippers on a serving platter. These can be enjoyed warm, accompanied by a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a light dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
