For a richer flavor, try using butternut squash or pumpkin puree instead of acorn squash. Adjust the amount of spices to your preference. A pinch of nutmeg or cardamom would also complement the squash nicely. For a crispier waffle, add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the dry ingredients. Leftover waffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or oven for best results.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Squash: Place acorn squash, cut-side down, in a microwave-safe dish. Add enough water to reach a 1-inch depth. Microwave until tender, approximately 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before handling. Scoop out the squash flesh and discard the peel. (Total time: 25 minutes)
02
StepCombine Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and ginger. In a food processor, combine the cooked squash flesh, milk, brown sugar, eggs, and vegetable oil. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined. (Total time: 10 minutes)
03
StepCreate the Batter: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Pulse until just combined to prevent overmixing. (Total time: 5 minutes)
04
StepCook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly coat the iron with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 to 3/4 cup of batter (adjust according to your waffle iron size) onto the center of the hot iron. Cook until the waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming. (Total time: 5 minutes per waffle)
05
StepServe and Enjoy: Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. (Total time: 2 minutes)
