Pumpkin waffles were a great treat this morning. I found that I like these waffles still a little bit doughy and it really brought out the right texture for the pumpkin puree. These would go great with an egg on top and with a cup of coffee. These were eaten very fast by every member in my family. The prep time took a little bit longer than I had originally expected, but it was so worth it. Also, I suggest making the full batch and using the entire can of pumpkin puree. I halved the recipe and now I have half a can of pumpkin puree in my fridge and I'm not sure what I want to do with it.
