Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk (or a milk alternative)

1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a brush of melted butter.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay.

          Cook the Waffles: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's directions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually around 5 minutes.

            Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Serve immediately with maple syrup, whipped cream, or toppings of your choice, such as nuts or fresh fruit.
