The original idea for this recipe came from the Bisquick website. I have made significant changes to it to adapt it to my healthy lifestyle. This recipe freezes extremely well, hence the large quantity. It's great to make on a Sunday morning, and pull out of the freezer for a quick breakfast treat during the week.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your waffles a more intense flavor and a better texture than canned puree.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your waffles tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest for a few minutes: Letting the batter rest for a few minutes will allow the gluten to relax, which will make your waffles more tender.
  • Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron: A hot waffle iron will help to create crispy waffles.
  • Serve the waffles immediately: Waffles are best served immediately after they are cooked. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a warm oven or on a warming tray.
