Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup canned pure pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

3/4 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or vegetable oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruits for mixing in

Instructions
 

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well-combined.

      In another bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.

        Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should remain slightly lumpy. If desired, fold in optional nuts or chocolate chips.

          Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a brush of oil. Pour the recommended amount of batter (usually around 1/2 to 3/4 cup) onto the center of the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions (usually about 4-5 minutes) until golden brown.

            Carefully remove the waffle and keep warm in a low oven (around 200°F) while you repeat with the remaining batter.

              Serve warm with maple syrup, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
