Day 26

Day 26 - It must be fall!  I love to get out in this weather and have some fun.  Another way that I know that it is fall is the pumpkins!  Yes, the pumpkins!  The mini-muffins were eaten up for a snack this morning and we had breakfast for super, pumpkin waffles and applesauce with real maple syrup.  Isobel didn't want them for they were made out of pumpkin, but it didn't stop her from eating them.  I think she would start to realize that she likes pumpkin.  She even had some pumpkin seeds this evening for a snack.  Maybe I need to find a way to make pumpkin crackers! :)

Pumpkin Waffles

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/8 cup fructose
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1/2 cup pumpkin

Instructions

1. Set up the waffle iron on a counter top or table within easy reach of the cook. Plug in the iron to preheat it.
2. In a medium-size mixing bowl, stir together the flour, fructose, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and pumpkin. Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture and stir just until combined.
3. Coat the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour the waffle batter onto the center of each section of the iron. (You will need 1/4 to 3/4 cup of batter for each waffle.)
4. Cook the waffles for about 4 to 5 minutes or until they are crispy and light brown. (Read the manufacturer's directions for details about how long you should cook the waffles in your particular waffle iron.) Serve immediately with maple syrup. Serves 4.

I should have made a double banch so we could have had some left!
