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 evenly distribute all dry ingredients.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the milk, vegetable oil, and pumpkin puree until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold together just until the batter is moistened; do not overmix to maintain waffle fluffiness.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking and to add flavor.
- Cook Waffles: Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on both sides. Remove carefully and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for the best flavor, or canned pumpkin puree as a convenient alternative.
- Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to your taste for a milder or stronger spice flavor.
- These waffles freeze well; reheat in a toaster for a quick breakfast.
- Serve with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite waffle toppings.
