Ingredients

2 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups milk whole or 2%
15 oz pumpkin puree 1 can, 100% pure pumpkin (not pie filling)
¼ cup butter melted and slightly cooled
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, milk, melted butter, and sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the same bowl. Whisk just until no dry streaks of flour remain; a few small lumps are fine. Don't overmix.
Preheat your waffle iron on medium-high heat and lightly coat the plates with nonstick cooking spray.
Pour about ⅓ cup of batter into the center of the iron (or the amount your waffle maker's instructions recommend), close the lid, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown and the steam has mostly stopped.
Transfer the waffle to a wire rack, or to a baking sheet in a 200°F oven to keep warm. Lightly re-grease the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use 100% pure canned pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling, which is already sweetened and spiced.
For extra-crispy waffles, whisk 1 teaspoon of cornstarch in with the dry ingredients.
For more spice, swap the cinnamon for 1½ teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice.
Store cooled leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster or oven to re-crisp.
