Instructions
If you’re making the acorn squash fresh for this recipe, preheat the oven to 400F. Slice the acorn squash in half and remove seeds. Spray with a little cooking spray then place face down on a baking sheet. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until the squash is tender. (If you’re using leftovers – like I often do – just measure out the cup and you’re good to go!)
Preheat waffle iron.
In a bowl, mix together flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add brown sugar, eggs, milk, oil, and acorn squash. Stir until well combined.
Pour batter into your waffle iron. Cook using the timer on your waffle iron, or approximately 3-5 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp. Enjoy!
