Gluten Free Waffles with Pumpkin
“The waffles we made using this recipe were made on a 7-inch waffle iron that forms 4 small waffles. One 4-piece, 7-inch waffle determines one serving. You may need to adjust the serving portions in accordance to the size of your waffle iron. And if you think it’s a bit odd that the cooking time is listed as 24 minutes, wonder no longer. It takes an average cooking time of 4 minutes per waffle, or a total of 24 minutes to cook 6 waffles. You may opt to feed your family in shifts as the waffles come hot off the iron . . . or not. A better option may be to make the waffles ahead and warm them in the oven or in a toaster just before you call the family in for breakfast.
