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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
