While thinking about what to do for breakfast today, I remembered the extra pumpkin puree in the refrigerator. There wasn't enough to make another pie, but there was certainly enough for pumpkin waffles. These are fluffy, full of flavor, and a little bit rich, and they go perfectly with a savory side of bacon or ham. Serve with warm maple syrup.
