Pumpkin Waffles

(from the kitchen of Kim Rowley)

 Ingredients:

• 2 cups Whole grain flour (wheat or oat or a mixture)
• ¼ cup agave, or 100% pure maple syrup,
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 2 eggs or egg substitute
• 1½ cups milk, or almond milk
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• ½ cup pumpkin (I add about ½ of a can, because I like more pumpkin taste)

 Instructions:

• Plug in the waffle iron to preheat it.
• In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
• In a separate mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, melted coconut oil, and pumpkin. Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
• Coat the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray.
• Pour the waffle batter onto the center of each section of the iron (You will need 1/4 to 3/4 cup of batter for each waffle).
• Cook the waffles for about 4 to 5 minutes or until they are crispy and light brown.
• Serve immediately.

**Serves 4

Simple yummy syrup & topping ideas:

• Blend your favorite berries or peaches with agave in the blender and pour over waffles.
• Pure Maple syrup
• Slice up fruit like berries, peaches, or bananas serve with agave sweetened yogurt
