Pumpkin Pecan Waffles with Cinnamon Whip Cream

Ok, so I'm a little nutty for pumpkin right now.  My kids have started a revolt with all this pumpkin, but I still love pumpkin anything so the cooking will go on. I couldn't believe I hadn't posted these last year on the blog.  These waffles are a favorite of our family this time of year.   This recipe makes a TON of waffles, but they freeze really well, so cook them and have a quick breakfast during the busy week.
Feel free to use maple syrup, but I liked the whipped cream on these.  Not to sweet, but a wonderful cinnamon flavor on top of these pumpkin treats.  Enjoy the pumpkin, for soon it will be gone, so sad!
