First off, you should know that these were originally going to be pancakes. But after three totally stuck to the pan tries, two differnt pans (one regular and one non-stick) and a heck of a lot of oil and butter...I decided to break out the waffle iron and try to salvage the remaining batter.
What a hassle! And I hadn't had my coffe yet so I was in a pretty foul mood during this whole fiasco...
...you know you have an anger problem when you feel like cursing while making pancakes.
I have an anger problem.
And the waffles, well...they worked. I personally found the texture to be too soft and almost mushy on the inside. If you nearly burn these waffles on the outside then the inside might be ok. Maybe.
I think I may have wasted a pumpkin can. Which is a real tragedy. The picture looks ok though, huh?
I will spare you of this recipe, it was a pancake failure and a very mediocre waffle. And pumpkin flavored breads should NEVER be mediocre.
Beacuase pumpkin is the holy grail of autumn.
Just meditate on that for a minute and make these waffles, for they will not disappoint.
even your recipe failure looks amazing! i love looking at all of your yummy eats... that pumpkin cooler is also so sweet... oh, and i am also a super proud aunt :)

Oh, Emma! Whenever I come here to see what you've been cooking, I always leave craving what you've prepared, haha! And it sucks because I don't have a waffler making device! I tried them for the very first time a couple of weeks ago, can you believe that? I also had bagels for the first time in April last year when I went to California. I love them! Oh, and I also had Pop tarts and Krispy Kreme's doughnuts for the first time last year, too. I was a complete virgin in terms of treats! Haha.
Hope you're having a great week!
Miki.

Yay for pumpkin! Love it, and just made my favorite pumpkin scones today.
But really, I'm commenting because I really love that you blog like a real person, and include your failed attempts! Thanks. Not to bask in your failure, but it just makes me feel more normal. Haha! I hope when you do find the perfect pumpkin waffle, you'll share the recipe. I would love to try it.

You are so right about the holy grail of autumn. Oh my. I don't even mind being unoriginal when I eat it, though ;)

I have an anger problem as well. When I made apple dumplings I was very thankful my husband was not home to hear me because I may have been given the stink eye from him. hahaha!
