In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sourdough starter, whole milk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix as it may result in dense waffles.
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter.
Once the waffle iron is ready, pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the center (refer to your waffle iron's instructions for guidance) and close the lid.
Cook the waffles until golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes depending on your waffle iron.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
