You can prep the batter ahead to use for busy mornings, and even make Pumpkin Pancakes using it. Whatever it is, this recipe always finds its way into our meal plans come December and has got to be on yours!

Notes

It's important that the waffle iron is preheated before you pour the batter to get that crispy exterior. You should hear a sizzle when you brush the waffle plates. As long as you see steam coming out of the waffle iron, the waffles are cooking. When it slows down, it might be time to check on your waffles. Homemade Pumpkin Puree Recipe: Peel and slice or cube pumpkin. Steam it till the pumpkin is fork tender. Grind it to a smooth paste in a food processor or mixer grinder.
