Spiced Pumpkin Waffles

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon ground ginger (NOTE* I used a little less than a tsp.)

1 pinch salt

2 eggs

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

1 2/3 cups milk

4 tablespoons butter, melted and cooled

1. Mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt in large bowl.

2. In a second bowl, add eggs, sugar, pumpkin, milk and butter; beat well.

3. Gently fold in the flour mixture.

4. Cook according to your waffle iron directions.

Note: I used my Belgian waffle iron using about 2/3 cup of batter and baking for 4 to 5 minutes.

We topped them with a little butter and syrup.

Delicious!
