Pumpkin and Apple Waffles

By megan_s

Ingredients

• 1 cup pastry flour (can be made with a 4:2 ratio of all-purpose to cake flour)
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbsp sugar (or brown sugar)
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (fresh or canned)
• 1 medium apple of choice, finely chopped and divided OR 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2-3 Tbsp milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat waffle iron.

Combine flour, baking powder, nutmeg and cinnamon in a small bowl.

In a separate bowl, mix eggs with sugar. Add to the dry mixture (note that the mixture will be very dry at this stage). Fold in the pumpkin and half of the chopped apple (or all of applesauce) until well combined into a thick, moist batter.

Add batter to waffle iron--about 1/4 cup batter per 4-inch waffle--and cook until done. Garnish cooked waffles with the remaining apple and top with real maple syrup. Enjoy!

Makes about six 4-inch waffles. Serving = 2 Waffles.
