How to Make Halloween Waffles
- Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Preheat oven to 200°F (93°C) if holding waffles before serving.
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Set aside 2 tablespoons for later use, reserving the remaining 2 tablespoons for greasing the waffle iron.
- Shred the acorn squash using the large holes of a box grater. You should have about 1 cup of packed shredded squash.
- Place the shredded squash in a bowl.
- Peel, core, and dice the apple into small pieces. Add it to the bowl with the squash.
- Add the chopped pecans to the bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider, maple syrup, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the squash, apple, and pecan mixture. Gently fold in the 2 tablespoons of reserved melted butter.
- Lightly grease the grids of your waffle iron with butter or cooking spray.
- Spoon about 1 cup of batter onto the center of the heated waffle iron grids.
- Spread the batter evenly with a metal spatula or wooden spoon.
- Close the lid and bake according to your waffle iron's instructions, until golden brown and crispy.
- If not serving immediately, place the cooked waffles in a single layer on a baking sheet, loosely cover with foil, and keep warm in the preheated oven while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings: maple syrup, applesauce, pumpkin butter, or maple butter.
