Instructions

For the waffles

  2. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together wet ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk until just blended. Ladle or scoop batter into waffle iron and cook until crisp. Serve immediately with maple cinnamon whipped cream or your choice of toppings.
  3. Makes around 5 large, round waffles.

Notes

You may use use commercial canned pumpkin puree or home cooked pumpkin. Many squash varieties produce darker, drier, sweeter flesh than pumpkins, so I prefer them for cooking.

To prepare pumpkin/squash puree, cut the fruit in half and scoop out seeds. Place the fruit cut side down in a large pan with about an inch of water.

Bake at 350°F until a fork easily penetrates the flesh of the pumpkin, about 1 hour for a medium squash.

Scoop soft flesh out of pumpkin shell. Puree and use within 2-3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
