Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons ginger powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 3/4 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Separate the eggs and place the egg whites in a large bowl, setting the yolks aside. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set them aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk them together, then create a well in the center. Add the egg yolks, pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil into the well. Mix until almost smooth, keeping some lumps.
- Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter until fully incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown on both sides according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Serve warm with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite toppings.
Notes
Ensure the waffle iron is well-heated before adding the batter for crispier waffles.
You can adjust the spice levels according to your taste preference for more warmth or sweetness.
Leftover waffles can be frozen and toasted when needed for a quick breakfast.
