Quick to prepare yet decadent enough for special occasions, Buttermilk Pumpkin Waffles are your new go-to seasonal recipe for capturing the essence of fall.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the brown sugar, pumpkin purée, buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, lightly spray the waffle iron plates with non-stick cooking spray.
Ladle the batter into the waffle iron, using enough to cover about two-thirds of the surface area. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, approximately 4-5 minutes (or as per your waffle iron's settings).
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and transfer it to a wire rack or plate. Repeat with the remaining batter, re-spraying the waffle iron as needed.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
