Ingredients

  • 1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
  • water to cover
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger (Optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 serving cooking spray

Directions

Step 1
Place acorn squash, cut-side down, in a microwave-safe dish; add enough water to reach a 1-inch depth. Cook squash in microwave until tender, about 20 minutes; allow to cool until easily handled. Scoop meat out of squash and discard peel.

Step 2
Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves in a bowl. Blend squash meat, brown sugar, milk, eggs, and vegetable oil in a food processor until smooth; mix into flour mixture until batter is smooth.

Step 3
Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray the inside of the waffle iron with cooking spray.

Step 4
Pour 1/4 to 3/4 cup batter (depending on size of waffle iron) into waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook’s Note:

I cook all my acorns at once, puree with a little butter and brown sugar, and freeze in baggies to use throughout the winter.
