Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 large eggs

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

4 tablespoons melted butter

Wooden popsicle sticks

Maple syrup (for drizzling)

Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Preheat the Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure even cooking.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt until they are fully combined. Set the bowl aside for later.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until you achieve a smooth and homogenous mixture.

Incorporate Buttermilk and Butter: Pour in the buttermilk and melted butter into the pumpkin mixture, stirring gently until all the wet ingredients are well combined.

Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding them together gently. Be careful not to overmix; it’s perfectly fine if a few small lumps remain in the batter.

Prep the Waffle Maker: Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a small amount of melted butter to prevent the waffle pops from sticking.

Pour the Batter: Spoon an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle maker, enough to cover the grid but avoid overflowing. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically for about 3-5 minutes until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through.

Assemble the Pops: Carefully remove the waffles when done and place them on a wire rack for a couple of minutes to cool slightly. While the waffles are still warm, insert a wooden popsicle stick into the bottom of each waffle, ensuring it’s firmly in place.

Serve: Serve the Pumpkin Cinnamon Waffle Pops while warm, drizzled with sweet maple syrup, and add a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired for an extra touch of indulgence.

Enjoy: Savor the warm, cozy flavors of fall encapsulated in these delicious waffle pops!
