Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ginger

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons honey

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for yogurt dip)

Optional: chopped nuts or granola for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Begin by preheating your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; a few lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into each section of the preheated waffle maker (adjust the amount based on the size of your mini waffles) and close the lid. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.

            Make the Yogurt Dip: In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

              Serve: Stack the mini pumpkin waffles on a platter and serve warm with a dollop of yogurt dip on top or on the side. For an extra crunch, sprinkle with chopped nuts or granola.

                Enjoy! Dig in and savor the flavors of the fall season with every bite of these delightful mini waffles!
