It is a great time of the year to fix your family some pumpkin waffles for breakfast!  Pumpkins are highly nutritious, so I decided to add some puree to my homemade whole wheat waffle recipe!  I added some classic pumpkin pie spices like ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and all spice.  They are so tasty and flavorful! Serve them with a little maple syrup, and they are a perfect addition for your table this holiday season!

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pie Waffles

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup applesauce
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup milk
1 cup pumpkin puree
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 teaspoons baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flax seed
1/3 cup old fashion oatmeal1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground all spice
1 tablespoon agave
1/4 tsp salt

Mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl just until incorporated, it may still be a little lumpy, but don’t over mix once the ingredients are mixed together.

Fill a waffle iron according to the size of your iron, and cook, serve with maple syrup.
