After making Pumpkin Granola this week, I had some leftover pumpkin (Cheese Squash) that needed to be used. I had a pumpkin pancake recipe in my files, but my husband is a sucker for waffles, especially pecan waffles. So being the innovator and recipe modifier that I am :), I decided to whip up some Pumpkin-Pecan Waffles.
Pumpkin Pecan Waffles
1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. whole wheat flour
1/8 c. brown sugar
1/8 c. granulated sugar
4 t. baking powder
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. ground ginger
1 t. fine sea salt
1/4 t. fresh ground nutmeg
1/8 t. ground cloves
2 c. milk
3/4 c. pumpkin puree
1/4 c. melted butter
2 eggs
¾ c. chopped pecansPreheat waffle iron.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. In a blender, blend together milk, pumpkin, eggs, and butter. Add to dry ingredients and stir. Stir in pecans. Cook on waffle iron according to manufacturers directions.
My little waffle iron.
This recipe makes about seven 8 inch waffles.
I was able to freeze some for later breakfasts
Serve with real maple syrup and butter. (Or we have a “local” brand that makes butter pecan syrup that is awesome.)

Making waffles is fun and has such a tasty reward, especially if the pumpkins have these wonderful ingredients-yum!

I gotcha! Knew what you meant!
I’m never sure if folks are like me and don’t go back to see follow up comments to their comments… So, I had to hop on over here and say, Cheeto’s in tomato soup!!! Love the idea and love it more because I now have an excuse to buy a bag of Cheeto’s!! And, now that I’m here I’ve got to figure out how to get the time next weekend to make these waffles – yum!!! Hope you’re having a great weekend 🙂 Kate
