Step 1
Start by mixing the maple syrup with ginger and nutmeg in a small pitcher or bowl, then set it aside to let the flavors meld. In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, pumpkin puree, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until smooth. In another bowl, combine the flour, flaxseed meal, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, then add the melted butter and mix gently.

Step 2
In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until they get really frothy. Add the brown sugar a little at a time, beating until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the fluffy egg whites into the batter in three additions, trying not to deflate them too much.

Step 3
Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer’s directions. Once hot, cook the waffles until they’re golden brown and the steam stops, which usually takes about 5 minutes. Serve the waffles warm with that spiced maple syrup drizzled on top. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
These waffles are perfect for cozy mornings. The pumpkin adds natural sweetness and moisture, while the spiced maple syrup gives a warm, comforting flavor. They are a great way to enjoy seasonal ingredients in a fun and tasty way.
How to serve
Serve with extra spiced maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream or Greek yogurt. Fresh fruit like sliced apples or berries also pairs wonderfully. For a savory twist, add a sprinkle of toasted nuts or a side of crispy bacon.
Storage & leftovers
Allow waffles to cool completely before storing. Keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a toaster or oven to keep them crisp. For longer storage, freeze the waffles and warm them directly from frozen.
