Pumpkin Waffles


Looking at these waffles they are a nice golden amber colour and the smell is that of pumpkin pie. Delicious with maple syrup although my topping of choice was blackberry syrup. Which was amazing! This simple recipe is easy to whip up for breakfast or brunch.   

Pumpkin Waffles
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Makes approximately 5-7 waffles (depending on the size of the waffle maker you use.)

 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
 4 teaspoons baking powder
 3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
 1 teaspoon ground British mixed spice or all spice
 1 teaspoon ground ginger
 1/2 teaspoon salt
 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

 1 cup canned pumpkin
 2 cups milk or soy milk
 3 eggs
 1/4 vegetable oil or melted butter 

Preheat waffle iron.

Combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, flax seeds, cinnamon, British mixed spice, ground ginger, salt, and brown sugar) into a large bowl. Stir together. Set aside. 

In a separate bowl combine all the wet ingredients (pumpkin, milk, eggs, and oil) and  blend together. Stirring moderately gently to not spill.

Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and then add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients; stirring until both are combined. 

Cook waffles according to the waffle makers instructions. When done top with your favourite toppings and enjoy!
