These waffles are dense and delicious! Perfect for a fall morning. You can substitute any squash. These are also a perfect way to get your kids to eat veggies! Serve with cinnamon cream syrup (recipe on this site).
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.
