Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup milk (or almond milk)

1/4 cup sugar

1 large egg

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 tablespoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking spray or melted butter (for greasing)

Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, or pecans

Instructions

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

Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.

Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly mixed.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid over-mixing; it should be slightly lumpy.

Grease the Waffle Maker: Lightly spray the preheated waffle maker with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.

Cook the Waffles: Pour enough batter into the waffle maker to cover the surface (amount will depend on your waffle maker's size). Close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

Cool and Cut: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. After cooling, cut each waffle into quarters or halves (depending on your preferred pop size).

Insert Sticks: Take wooden popsicle sticks and insert them into the bottom of each waffle piece to create a pop. Make sure they are secure.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Pumpkin Cinnamon Waffle Pops warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, dollops of whipped cream, or sprinkle with chopped pecans for added crunch.

Store Any Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, pop them in the toaster or an oven until warm and crispy again.
