Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk room temperature
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1.5-2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Tip: It’s best to let your cold ingredients like eggs and milk get to room temperature. Take out the eggs and measure out the milk. Let it sit on the counter for about 30 minutes.
- Whisk eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, and sugar together until smooth. Whisk in vanilla extract and melted butter.
- Sift flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking powder, and baking soda together and add it to the wet ingredients. Whisk all ingredients together until evenly combined.
- Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes while preheating the waffle maker.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker with oiled paper towel (not a cooking spray), preheat it first, and cook waffles in a waffle maker per your waffle maker's instructions.
Notes
- Gluten free note: If you need to make your pumpkin waffles gluten free, use gluten free all purpose flour. Use your favorite 1:1 gluten free flour blend, you can use it as an equal substitute for the all-purpose flour in this recipe. My personal favorite gluten free blends are Renewal Mill 1:1 baking flour and Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 baking flour and King Arthur Gluten Free Measure For Measure Flour.
(Don’t use almond or coconut flour.) - Freezing waffles: make sure to cool cooked waffles completely. Cool waffles on a wire rack so they cool faster and evenly without accumulating moisture on the bottom. Place several or all waffles into a large zip-lock freezer bag or place each waffle into a smaller individual freezer bag. Get as much air out as you can and close the bag tight. Label and date the bags. Freeze waffles for up to 3 months. Frozen waffles can easily be reheated and toasted in a toaster.
- No pumpkin pie spice? Make your own: a classic pumpkin spice mix consists of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and cloves.
If you would like to make your own, simply combine: 3 Tablespoons of ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 2 teaspoons of ground nutmeg, 1 1/2 teaspoons of ground cloves, 1 teaspoon of ground allspice.
