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.
This recipe makes about seven 8 inch waffles.
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
