Zucchini Pecan Waffles

So I just have the list of ingredients, we just use the regular instructions of waffles. (Like separating eggs and beating egg whites, and what order things go in.)

Zucchini Waffles
* 3 C Flour
* 2 tsp Cinnamon
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1/2 tsp salt
* 1/2 tsp nutmeg
* 2/3 C Sugar
* 2 C Zucchini--shredded
* 1/2 C Oil
* 2 eggs
* Peel of 1/2 of an orange--Zested or see helpful hints.
* 1/4 - 1/2 C Pecans (can sub walnuts, but pecans are better)
*1/4 C Milk (this might be different due to altitude. Add slowly till right consistency.

Helpful Hints
--Make sure Waffle Iron is well oiled otherwise it sticks.
--Spread thin on Waffle Iron as these puff like mad. If you use the amount you are used to you'll end up with 2" high waffles.
--Peel an orange with a vegetable peeler, careful not to get too much of the white inner peel. Put in chopper (I use my mini chopper) with nuts. Chop till small (almost granual, like think of grinding your own whole wheat on the biggest setting).
--You can replace the zucchini with just about any squash, but what spices and nuts changes.
--Makes a great breakfast for dinner, a great brunch, a great middle of the night snack, okay really it's great at any time
--Make a double batch. =)
