Pumpkin Waffles

I got this yummy recipe from my MOPS newsletter this month. 
 I just knew I had to try it and we're all so glad I did!  

Pumpkin Waffles
serves 6
  • 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2-1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk (i used 1%)
  • 1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
  • 1 cup canned solid-pack pumpkin
  • 3/4 stick (6 Tbsp) butter, melted


















Pre-heat oven to 250 degrees.  Pre-heat waffle iron.  Shift together: flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt & spices.  Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until blended and then whisk in milk, buttermilk, pumpkin and butter until smooth.  Whisk in dry ingredients just until smooth.
