In my search for something different and wonderful, I happened upon a link for this recipe (original found at Chocolate on My Cranium). What I have here is my version with a couple of changes and doubled (I like to make and freeze them)
Spiced Pumpkin Waffles
* 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or I may use *all* whole wheat)
* 6 teaspoons baking powder
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 2 teaspoon cinnamon
* 2 teaspoon nutmeg
* 2 teaspoon ground ginger
* 1 pinch salt
* 4 eggs, separated
* 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
* 1 14-16 oz. can pumpkin puree
* 3 1/3 cups milk (your preference. I use coconut almond milk)
* 4 TBL olive oil
* Spray oil (such as Pam or the equivalent)
Directions
- Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Separate eggs. Pour egg whites into a small bowl and whip until fluffy and white.
- In a second larger bowl, add egg yolks, sugar, pumpkin, milk, and oil. Beat well.
- Gently fold the flour mixture into the wet mixture and mix well
- Gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
- Bake according to your waffle iron directions. These come out a nice golden brown.
- Serve with maple syrup or honey butter.
