Ingredients

For the waffles:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 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 salt

1 1/2 cups pumpkin puree (canned or freshly made)

2 large eggs

1 1/4 cups milk (or non-dairy alternative)

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

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the maple yogurt dip:

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

A pinch of ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

Preparing the Waffle Batter:

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

Mixing the Wet Ingredients:

In another bowl, blend together the pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Combining Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing; a few lumps are okay!

Waffle Iron Setup:

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the iron with cooking spray or brush with oil.

Cooking the Waffles:

Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on the size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, typically around 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Making the Maple Yogurt Dip:

In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon if desired. Stir until smooth.

Serving:

Serve the warm pumpkin waffles immediately with a generous dollop of the maple yogurt dip on the side. Optional: Top with chopped nuts, sliced bananas, or additional maple syrup for an extra touch!
