Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon 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 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or milk with 1 tablespoon lemon juice added)

1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional toppings: whipped cream, maple syrup, chopped pecans, or maple-flavored yogurt

Instructions
 

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

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

      In another medium bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, eggs, brown sugar, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are okay.

          Lightly grease your waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter.

            Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (typically about 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your waffle iron).

              Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron's instructions (usually around 5-6 minutes) or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp.

                Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm in a preheated oven at 200°F (95°C) while you prepare the rest.

                  Repeat until all the batter is used up.

                    Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as whipped cream, maple syrup, chopped pecans, or maple-flavored yogurt.
