To make your homemade waffles, begin by preheating your waffle iron.

In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg and baking soda. Mix the flour mixture together well and set them aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree and melted butter.

Stir in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a slightly lumpy waffle batter forms.

Spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray, pour the batter in, and cook until the waffles are set and golden brown, about 2 minutes.

Toast pecans in a dry frying pan on a medium heat, watch carefully so they don’t burn. Chop.

Serve waffles sprinkled with chopped pecans, whip cream and drizzled with real maple syrup.
