A few days ago I want a waffle breakfast. Instead of the waffles I usually make, I wanted to try something different. I thought to myself I make pumpkin muffins, so why not make pumpkin waffles? There really was no reason not to so I did.

The recipe I used was for my basic waffles, and I just altered it to suit my pumpkin ones. I used frozen pumpkin, and drained some of the excess liquid from it before I started to make my waffles.

My waffles turned out to be super yummy! They had that great pumpkin flavor that I love, with subtle hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. They were everything I could have hoped for or expected in a pumpkin waffle. I will defiantly be making these again.

Here is the recipe

Pumpkin Waffles

1 ½  cups chopped pumpkin
2 ¾  cups all purpose flour
5 ½ tbsp white sugar
4 ½ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp salt
3 large eggs
2 cups skim milk
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp rum extract
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg

Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined. Add the nutmeg and cinnamon and mix well. In a blender add the pumpkin, eggs, oil, rum and vanilla extract, and blend until smooth. Add the pureed mixture to the flour mixture and stir until well combined. Spoon onto on a hot waffle iron, and good each waffle until desired level of golden color on top is reached. Serve immediately.
