When I first made these a couple of weeks ago I was worried my family wouldn’t like them. My fears were set to rest however when Special Dark (the pickiest of the bunch) came and started licking the batter from his fingers, over and over again! These are not too pumpkin-y. In fact I heard complaints that the waffles didn’t have enough pumpkin in them!
