I had a cup of canned pumpkin puree leftover in my fridge and decided that it was my mission to use it up!
Luckily, Deb over at Smitten Kitchen figured that out for me!
PUMPKIN WAFFLES!
It just so happens that a week ago today I treated myself to a waffle maker in order to satisfy a *major* waffle craving. For some reason I’m having more cravings now than I did when I was pregnant. Waffles…Mushrooms……go figure!
When we were growing up, my mom always picked one weekend day and made a special breakfast for us kids. It was such a treat to be woken up with pancakes…waffles…french toast or an egg breakfast! So, I’ve decided that I am starting this same tradition in my own household.
To celebrate a 6 hour stretch of sleep last night, (Thank you Mr. Cooper!) I decided to make a special breakfast to celebrate. And here we have it!
Can you tell that I enjoyed them???
Pumpkin waffles…worth waking up for!
You can find the recipe here
***I mixed in a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin butter in the maple syrup I heated up to make an extra pumpkin-y syrup! Next time I will probably half the recipe as we had about 6 leftover waffles. It’s cool though…my freezer will hold take care of them for me until I get my next waffle craving. ***
Thank you Deb! I didn’t have to waste pumpkin puree thanks to you!
