Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat the waffle iron to medium-high heat for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, leaving the batter slightly lumpy.
  5. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to hydrate the flour.
  6. Grease the waffle iron lightly and pour an appropriate amount of batter, then close the lid and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Transfer cooked waffles to a cooling rack to keep them crisp.
  8. Serve warm topped with maple syrup or any seasonal toppings.
