  • ¾cup solid-pack pumpkin*
  • 1⁄3cup vegetable oil
  • 2large eggs, lightly beaten
  • ¼cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2¼cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • 1tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼teaspoon kosher salt
  • pinch ground nutmeg
  • ½cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

  1. 1. Put the milk, pumpkin, oil, and eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth; reserve. Crumble the brown sugar into a large mixing bowl to remove any lumps. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Whisk to blend. Add the liquid ingredients and whisk until just combined. Stir in the walnuts. Let batter rest 5 minutes before using.
  2. 2. Preheat the Cuisinart® 4-Slice Belgian Waffle Maker to desired setting.
  3. 3. Pour 2 cups of batter onto the center of the lower grid of the preheated waffle maker; spread batter evenly using a heat-proof spatula. Close lid of waffle maker. Ready light will go off. When light turns green again, waffles are ready. Open lid and carefully remove baked waffles. Repeat with remaining batter. For best results, serve immediately.
  4. *Measure out the remaining pumpkin to freeze to make these waffles at another time.
