Pumpkin Waffles

I know that everyone seems to be in a pumpkin craze this time of year. Certainly, I've already contributed with donuts and bars. And these scrumptious waffles probably won't be the last of it for this fall!

Pumpkin lends such wonderful flavor to recipes - and it's good for you, too! These waffles are so tasty that you won't even need syrup. I know that sounds like sacrilege - and I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't done it myself. But it's true!

Make your autumn mornings great with these delicious waffles!

In a large measuring cup, combine the milk, egg, oil and pumpkin

and whisk well until smooth. Then add the cloves, cinnamon,

brown sugar,

flour,

baking powder and salt and whisk just until combined. Pour the batter onto a preheated waffle iron

and cook for 4-5 minutes or until steam no longer escapes from the iron. (Of course, each appliance is different so follow the instructions for your waffle maker.)

A little spiced whipped cream (or cool whip!) makes a delightful topping for these delicious waffles.
