Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups milk, room temperature
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup pecans, chopped and toasted

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then add the milk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix — a few lumps are fine!
  5. Fold in the toasted pecans using a spatula.
  6. Lightly grease your waffle maker with cooking spray or a bit of melted butter.
  7. Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle maker, using about 1/3 cup for each waffle (or adjust based on your waffle maker’s size).
  8. Cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions, typically 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a low oven (200°F/95°C) while you finish the batch.
  10. Serve warm with your favorite toppings!
