Ingredients
Scale
For the Waffles:
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup canned pumpkin purée
- 2 large eggs
- 1¾ cups buttermilk
- â…“ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Brown Butter Maple Syrup:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¾ cup pure maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Make the syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking until it foams and turns golden brown with a nutty aroma, about 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon. Keep warm.
- Make the waffles: Preheat your waffle iron. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. In another bowl, whisk together the pumpkin purée, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until combined—do not overmix. Lightly grease your waffle iron and pour batter in, cooking according to your waffle maker’s instructions until golden brown and crisp. Serve waffles warm, drizzled with brown butter maple syrup.
Notes
- These waffles freeze well—just cool and store in a zip-top bag. Toast to reheat.
- Add chopped pecans or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor.
