Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- Dash of salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 2/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 egg
For Cooking
- 2 tsp butter (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and a dash of salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and pumpkin puree until smooth and thoroughly mixed.
- Mix Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just moistened. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay for tender waffles.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, drop dollops of batter (about 1/4 to 1/3 cup each) onto the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown on both sides and crisp, usually a few minutes per batch depending on your waffle iron.
- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or additional pumpkin spice.
Notes
- Delicious pumpkin spice waffles to satisfy your seasonal cravings!
- For extra crispiness, carefully adjust cooking time depending on your waffle iron.
- Substitute milk with any plant-based milk to make it dairy-free.
- Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven until ready to serve.
