Got Extra Pumpkin? Make Belgian Waffles

While you’re still home, use your leftover pumpkin purée and treat your household to this easy waffle recipe that can serve a ton of people. The result is decadent, vegan, and incredibly filling—and as with any pumpkin recipe, these waffles have a ton of fiber and nutrients you can’t get elsewhere. Throw in chocolate chips or top with real maple syrup for the most intense fall flavors.
