Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Make sure to have a grill pan ready for cooking the waffles.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk them together until they are well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: 1 cup of pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup of milk, and 2 eggs. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture together using a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Preheat your grill pan over medium heat. If desired, lightly grease the pan with a small amount of oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Once the grill pan is hot, pour about 1/2 cup of the waffle batter onto the pan for each waffle. Use a spatula to spread the batter into a round shape, if necessary.
- Cook the waffles for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Carefully flip the waffles using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
- Once cooked, remove the waffles from the grill pan and keep them warm in an oven set to low heat while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the pumpkin spice waffles warm, topped with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or chopped nuts. Enjoy your delicious Grill Pan Pumpkin Spice Waffles!
Tips
- Ingredient Temperature Matters: Ensure your eggs and milk are at room temperature for smoother batter integration.
- Don't Overmix: Lumpy batter is your friend! Overmixing can lead to tough, dense waffles.
- Preheat Your Grill Pan: A properly heated pan ensures even cooking and beautiful grill marks.
- Use a Non-Stick Spray: Even on a grill pan, a light cooking spray prevents sticking and helps achieve crispy edges.
- Keep Waffles Warm: If cooking in batches, place cooked waffles in a low-temperature oven to maintain their warmth and crispness.
- Customize Your Toppings: While delicious plain, try topping with maple syrup, whipped cream, candied pecans, or a sprinkle of extra pumpkin spice.
