I just absolutely love fall. There are the obvious reasons: colorful mums on doorsteps, an extra cozy blanket on the bed, the smell of long awaited rain in the air. And then there is this: pumpkin is a vegetable! Fall just makes it so easy to load up on veggies in the most decadent and delicious ways. Even little picky eaters will happily asks for seconds and thirds.

Pumpkin Waffles
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk (I typically use oat milk or almond milk but anything goes)
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
- Mix dry ingredients in a mixing bowl
- Add wet ingredients
- Grease a griddle or pan of your choice with a little butter and add batter
- Flip pancakes when you see bubbles forming on the surface
I went all out and served these with maple syrup, roasted pumpkin seeds, and a few chocolate and caramel chips sprinkled on top. After all, you are getting your serving of veggies. Indulge!
