• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ginger
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 small apple, diced
• 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

2. Add the eggs, molasses, and pumpkin and beat until combined.
3. Add spices and whole wheat flour and mix until combined. With mixer running add melted butter.

6. From here you just pour into your waffle iron. You could probably also make pancakes with this batter though I have not tried this.
