Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
Separate the egg whites and place them in a mixing bowl; set the yolks aside. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Make a well, then add egg yolks, pumpkin puree, milk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil. Whisk until nearly smooth, leaving some lumps.
Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until no streaks remain, taking care not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron following the manufacturer's instructions, cooking until golden brown on both sides.
Serve warm topped with butter, maple syrup, and your choice of toppings.

Notes

These waffles can be made ahead and frozen for quick breakfasts later.
For extra flavor, you can add chocolate chips or walnuts to the batter if desired.
Adjust the spices according to your taste preference.
