To achieve a light and fluffy texture for your Pumpkin Cinnamon Waffle Pops, it is crucial to mix your dry and wet ingredients separately. Start by sifting together your dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sifting helps to aerate the flour and remove any lumps, which is essential for creating a smooth batter.

Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon salt

1 cup milk (can substitute with almond milk)

2 large eggs

¼ cup melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free version)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cooking spray (for the waffle maker)

Optional toppings: maple syrup, whipped cream, or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

Preheat Your Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. If you have a setting for the crispness, opt for medium to achieve a nice balance of crunch and softness.

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

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk these ingredients together until smooth and uniform.

        Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until the batter is just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

          Prepare Waffle Pops: Lightly grease the waffle maker plates with cooking spray. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker, enough to cover the surface but not overflow. Close the lid and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually around 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

            Cool and Insert Sticks: Once cooked, use a fork to carefully remove the waffles. Let them cool for a minute on a wire rack. While they're still warm, gently insert popsicle sticks into the bottom of each waffle, ensuring they are secure.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Pumpkin Cinnamon Waffle Pops warm with your choice of toppings. Drizzle with maple syrup, add a dollop of whipped cream, or sprinkle with your favorite nuts for an added crunch.
