Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 cups flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon clove
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger (from squeeze bottle) *or 1 ½ teaspoon dried ginger
- 4 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
- 1 ¼ cups half and half
- ½ cup molasses
- 1 stick melted butter (8 tablespoons)
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Spray waffle iron with non stick cooking spray. Preheat to medium high heat.
- In a large bowl sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, clove and salt until just combined.
- In a medium bowl combine the eggs, brown sugar, pumpkin, half and half, molasses, vanilla and melted butter until fully combined.
- Stir until just fully combined, but don't over mix! The batter will be clumpy- thats ok. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before cooking.
- Using 1 cupfuls, pour the batter into the hot waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with homemade whipped cream and maple syrup. Enjoy!
