Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 2 teaspoons Ground ginger
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1.25 cups Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Molasses
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar (packed)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 as needed Non-stick cooking spray or melted butter (for the waffle iron)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, using a whisk, beat the eggs until blended. Add the pumpkin puree, milk, molasses, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Use a spatula to stir just until combined, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be slightly thick.

Step 4

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 5

Once the waffle iron is ready, lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Spoon the batter into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly (the amount will vary depending on the size of your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to the waffle iron’s settings, about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7

Carefully remove the waffle and transfer it to a wire rack to keep crisp while you cook the remaining batter. Avoid stacking to maintain crispness.

Step 8

Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a sprinkling of pecans.
