Pumpkin Waffles with Cinnamon Maple Syrup

0 Combine the dry ingredients — the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon — in a large bowl and whisk together.
1 In a smaller bowl, combine the wet ingredients — the pumpkin puree, milk, egg, vanilla extract, oil and maple syrup — and whisk until smooth. It is important to stir this vigorously so that the egg blends into the rest of the wet ingredients.
2 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and slowly mix together, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix the batter.
3 Preheat the waffle iron and spritz lightly with cooking spray.
4 Pour ½ cup of the batter into the warmed waffle iron, spreading with a rubber spatula until at the edges.
5 Cook per the manufacturer's instructions. (I like mine crispy on the outside, so I cook them on a higher setting. To each their own.)
6 While the waffles are cooking, heat the maple syrup and cinnamon sticks over medium heat. Simmer until time to eat.
7 When the waffles are cooked to your liking, serve warm with the cinnamon syrup. Enjoy!
