Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

2 large eggs

1 ½ cups buttermilk (or regular milk with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

½ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Maple syrup, for serving

Whipped cream, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This ensures your waffles cook evenly and get that perfect crispy exterior.

    Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if a few lumps remain.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter (usually about ½ to ¾ cup, depending on your waffle iron) onto the center of the iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter.

            Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles and place them on a cooling rack or a plate. Serve immediately with warm maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

              Enjoy: Take a moment to enjoy the aroma and the delicious taste of these fluffy pumpkin spice waffles, perfect for breakfast or brunch!
