Preheat a waffle iron on medium-high heat.

Mix together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.

Then gradually stir together all wet ingredients: melted butter, milk, eggs, vanilla and pure pumpkin.

Once wet ingredients are thoroughly mixed, slowly add in dry ingredients, stirring until incorporated. Mix until just combined and be careful not to over mix the batter.  The batter will be lumpy.

Pour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into the waffle maker starting at the center and gradually working toward the outside filling up the wells in the waffle maker.

Close the lid on the waffle maker and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp (approximately 4 minutes).

Carefully remove the waffle from the waffle maker to a separate plate.

Repeat this process until all of the batter is used.

Serve warm topped with butter and syrup. Enjoy!
