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 brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup buttermilk

4 tablespoons melted butter

Wooden popsicle sticks

Maple syrup (for serving)

Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the canned pumpkin, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until you have a smooth mixture.

        Incorporate Buttermilk and Butter: Add the buttermilk and melted butter to the pumpkin mixture and stir until well combined.

          Combine Both Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.

            Prep the Waffle Maker: Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a little melted butter to ensure easy release.

              Pour the Batter: Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle maker (enough to cover the grid but not overflow). Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown.

                Assemble the Pops: Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack for a few minutes. While they are still warm, insert a wooden popsicle stick into the bottom of each waffle, ensuring it’s secure.

                  Serve: Serve the Pumpkin Cinnamon Waffle Pops warm with a drizzle of maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

                    Enjoy: Delight in the cozy flavors of fall with these delectable waffle pops!
