Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked mashed acorn squash
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup 1% milk (or milk alternative)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil

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!
