In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, ¼ cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together ? cup melted and cooled butter, 1½ cups milk, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup pumpkin puree until smooth.
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!
Notes
The batter amount needed varies based on your waffle maker. This recipe will make approximately 10 standard sized waffles or 5 large waffles. Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days or freeze for up to 2-3 months.
