The other day I made some no-bake pumpkin energy bites using a lone can of pumpkin in the pantry, and it still left me with some unused pumpkin. If you have some leftover for whatever reason, consider whipping together some breakfast waffles! The smell will scent your kitchen and should fill you up until lunchtime.

Ingredients

1/3 cup pumpkin puree

1/2 cup milk (I used soy)

1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice (or 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg each)

3/4 cup (whole wheat) flour

1/8 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

Mix the flour, spices, salt, and baking powder until well combined, make a well in the center.

Whisk the milk, egg, pumpkin, vanilla and sugar, and combine with the dry ingredients until just combined, do not overmix! If too thick, thin slightly with extra milk.

Prepare your waffle maker and pour half the batter for the first waffle.

Serve hot with butter and syrup!

Serves 2, double the recipe if you need to.
