Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, for syrup
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup, for syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. Lightly grease the plates if needed.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine for fluffy waffles.
  5. Cook the batter in the preheated waffle iron until golden brown and crisp, usually 4 to 6 minutes, depending on your iron.
  6. While the waffles cook, prepare the syrup: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking, swirling the pan occasionally, until the butter foams, then brown bits form at the bottom and it smells nutty (about 3 to 5 minutes).
  7. Remove the brown butter from the heat and immediately whisk in the maple syrup.
  8. Serve the hot waffles immediately, drizzled generously with the brown butter maple syrup.

Notes

  • For make ahead waffles, cool completely, then freeze in a single layer before storing in an airtight bag. Reheat in a toaster or oven.
  • If you prefer a crispier waffle, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
