Instructions

Preheat Waffle Iron: Prepare your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, allowing it to heat fully for optimal cooking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and the warm spices — cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves — ensuring even distribution.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the pumpkin purée, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
Blend Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the waffles tender and light.
Prepare Waffle Iron: Lightly grease the waffle iron surface with nonstick spray or brush with a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
Cook Waffles: Pour the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook according to your appliance’s directions until the waffles turn golden brown and develop a crisp exterior.
Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm. Top with maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for added flavor.

Notes

These waffles freeze well — simply reheat them in a toaster or oven for a quick breakfast.
For a tangier flavor, substitute regular milk with buttermilk.
Add chopped pecans into the batter for a delightful crunch.
