Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil

Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, or powdered sugar for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.

      Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and well-combined.

        Combine the Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush it with a bit of oil. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's guidelines until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 4-5 minutes.

            Cool and Cut: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the iron and let them cool slightly. Once they are cool enough to handle, cut the waffles into strips or dippers.

              Serve: Arrange the waffle dippers on a plate. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, a dollop of whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
