Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with non-stick cooking spray or brush it with melted butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and maple syrup until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Scoop the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturerβs instructions, usually for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the waffles are cooking, prepare the orange walnut butter. In a small bowl, beat together the softened sweet cream butter, orange zest, orange juice, and chopped walnuts until fully combined.
Once the waffles are cooked, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and keep them warm. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, topped with a dollop of the orange walnut butter and additional maple syrup if desired.
