Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Swerve Brown Sugar Substitute (or regular brown sugar)
- 4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 4 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar substitute, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour the milk, pumpkin puree, lightly beaten eggs, and melted butter into the dry mixture. Whisk all ingredients together until you achieve a smooth, uniform batter with no lumps.
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer’s instructions for temperature and timing to ensure optimal cooking results.
- Cook Waffles: Pour about 3/4 cup of the batter onto the hot waffle iron (adjust quantity if using a square iron). Close the lid and cook the waffles according to your waffle maker’s directions until golden brown and cooked through.
- Keep Warm and Serve: To keep waffles warm if making multiple batches, place cooked waffles on a baking sheet in a warm oven. Serve immediately while hot for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use pumpkin pie spice for an authentic fall flavor; you can make your own blend with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves if unavailable.
- Substitute regular brown sugar if you do not have a sugar substitute; this will slightly increase calories and sugar content.
- Make sure the pumpkin puree is pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling with added sugars and spices.
- Adjust batter quantity per waffle size and waffle iron shape—round irons may require slightly more batter than square ones.
- Keep waffles warm in a low oven (about 200°F/90°C) if preparing multiple batches to maintain crispness.
