Pumpkin Waffles With Apple Cinnamon Syrup

Today is Dan's 40th birthday!  I wanted to make something extra special and decided to try a new recipe, Pumpkin Waffles.  This recipe belongs to Isa Moskowitz from Post Punk Kitchen.  Her website is found on the right hand side of my blog.  I have tried a few of her recipes and LOVE them!  I made a few slight modifications.  As for the syrup, I got this recipe off of Pinterest as something I wanted to modify Vegan style.  It worked wonderfully!!!!  We scarfed these this morning!  They were so amazing!  I hope you make them soon and leave me a comment as to how you liked them.  They were Christmas morning to me and perfect for Fall.  Enjoy!!!

Pumpkin Waffles With Apple Cinnamon Syrup

Adapted from Isa Moskowitz

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (optional, add more cinnamon)

1 teaspoon ginger

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon cloves

2 cups almond milk

1/2 cup water

1 15-ounce can pureed pumpkin

1/4 cup oil

1/3 cup brown sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For Syrup

1/2 cup organic sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

1 cup fresh apple juice

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients for the syrup and whisk until well combined, then turn to medium heat and bring to a boil.  Turn off and leave on burner.  

In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients for the waffles. Mix well.  In the center, create a well and mix wet ingredients.  Mix all together quickly, then let sit for 5 minutes.  Do not over mix!

These waffles do take several minutes to cook in your waffle iron.  They taste good well done with crispy edges!
