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 ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground 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 its manufacturer's instructions to ensure optimal cooking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt until they are evenly distributed and lump-free.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium-sized bowl, add the pumpkin puree, egg, milk, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk these together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

        Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, carefully stir until just combined. Be cautious to maintain a few lumps in the batter, as overmixing can affect the waffles' texture.

          Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter into each section of the preheated waffle maker (adjust according to your mini waffle size). Close the lid and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the waffles are a beautiful golden brown. Continue this process with the remaining batter.

            Make the Yogurt Dip: In a small bowl, mix together the plain Greek yogurt, honey, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Set it aside for easy dipping!

              Serve: Neatly stack the mini pumpkin waffles on a serving platter while they are still warm. Add a generous dollop of yogurt dip on top or serve it on the side. For an added crunch and flavor, sprinkle with chopped nuts or granola.

                Enjoy! Indulge in the cozy flavors of the fall season with each delightful bite of these mini waffles, perfectly complemented by the creamy yogurt dip!
