Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices until well combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the pumpkin purée, apple cider, oil (or melted butter), brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the waffles light and fluffy.
  3. Heat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the surface with cooking spray or a little oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook the Waffles: Pour enough batter onto the waffle iron to cover the surface, ensuring not to overfill. Close the lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes or until the waffles are crisp and golden brown.
  5. Serve Warm: Carefully remove the waffles and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cloves or allspice to the spice mix.
  • Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra sweetness and spices.
  • Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven (about 200°F) while cooking the rest of the batter.
  • Leftover waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
