• 2 tsp (10 mL) baking powder
• 1 tsp (5 mL) ground ginger

Directions

Preheat waffle iron.

Combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg and baking soda in a large bowl; mix well and set aside.

Whisk together eggs, milk, pumpkin puree and butter in another large bowl. Stir in flour mixture until a slightly lumpy batter forms.
