I'm loving trying out new recipes using pumpkin, so my breakfast pumpkin creation is pumpkin waffles! Yes a pumpkin waffle, now is the US these are actually more common than here in the UK, but until you try one you'll never know.
I recently purchased a waffle maker, and probably one of my best gadgets, as it's incredibly easy. The kids and hubs are loving waffles, and you may well see more waffle recipes making an appearance on my blog. If you have children who like pancakes then I would recommend purchasing a waffle maker, they are relatively inexpensive about £20 from your supermarket.
The waffle maker is pretty unique, I'm not sure if they all have this feature, but mine you have to flip over within about 10-15 seconds to make sure the batter is evenly distributed.
