Directions

  1. Place acorn squash, cut-side down, in a microwave-safe dish, add enough water to reach a 1-inch depth. Cook squash in microwave until tender, about 20 minutes, allow to cool until easily handled. Scoop meat out of squash and discard peel.

  2. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and cloves in a bowl. Blend squash meat, brown sugar, milk, eggs, and vegetable oil in a food processor until smooth, mix into flour mixture until batter is smooth.

  3. Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Spray the inside of the waffle iron with cooking spray.

  4. Pour 1/4 to 3/4 cup batter (depending on size of waffle iron) into waffle iron and cook according to manufacturer's instructions. Repeat with remaining batter.
