Thanksgiving Pumpkin Waffles

Thanksgiving is coming up this weekend for all of us Canadians, and for us that means lots of delicious homemade goodies! This year our Mama decided to try something different and made these absolutely amazing Pumpkin Spice Waffles for Leah's birthday breakfast. We think they will make the perfect Thanksgiving breakfast,  along with leftover pie of course! : )

Our lovely Mama found this recipe and adapted it to make the fluffiest, dairy and wheat free waffles!
