Pumpkin Pie Waffles

I made my own pumpkin pie spice blend this year and it smells so wonderful, I've been using it for as many different pumpkiny foods as I can manage. These waffles were inspired by my new favorite spice and a leftover jack-o-lantern pumpkin that had been sitting on my counter.

1¼ c pecan halves (4½ oz)
4 T oil
1 t baking soda
1 t vinegar
½ t salt
4 eggs
¾ c mashed pumpkin (6 oz)
1 t pumpkin pie spice
¼ c dates (1½ oz)

1. Puree together all ingredients until smooth
2. Pour onto ungreased waffle iron by half-cup measure
3. Bake each waffle for 2½-3 min or until golden
