Spiced Pumpkin Waffles [vegan]

These spiced pumpkin waffles are always a big hit at home with both adults and kids. They are lightly sweetened with maple syrup.

You can serve them for brunch (with some vegetarian/vegan sausages), breakfast or mid-afternoon snack (topped with fruits).

I used my new No Mess Waffle Maker by Heston Blumenthal courtesy of Sage Appliances. I love it! It has 7 settings so everyone in the family can get his or her own perfectly crisped waffle. Plus the wrap-around overflow ring catches up any excess batter.
