Recipe for Pumpkin Pear Waffles

adapted from this recipe

• 4 cups flour
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
• 3 cups milk
• 2 cups canned pumpkin (1 can) or cooked pumpkin puree
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Topping:

• pear slices
• maple syrup
• cinnamon to taste

Stir together dry ingredients.  In a separate bowl, mix together milk, pumpkin, eggs, and butter with an electric mixer or rotary beater.  Combine wet and dry ingredients, mixing for about 1 minute on high speed.  Preheat waffle iron and coat with nonstick cooking spray or brush with oil.  Add about 3/4 cup batter and bake according to waffle iron instructions.

Keep waffles warm until ready to serve.  Top with pear slices, sprinkle with cinnamon, and drizzle with maple syrup.  Makes about 8 servings.  Freeze any extra waffles for future use.
