Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons ground ginger
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups pumpkin puree
• 1.25 cups whole milk
• 2 eggs
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.5 cups sweet cream butter (softened)
• 1 tablespoons orange zest
• 1 tablespoons orange juice
• 3 tablespoons chopped walnuts

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with melted butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Scoop the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

While the waffles are cooking, prepare the orange walnut butter. In a small bowl, beat together the softened sweet cream butter, orange zest, orange juice, and chopped walnuts until fully combined.

Step 7

Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 8

Serve the waffles warm, topped with a dollop of the orange walnut butter and additional maple syrup if desired.
