I love this recipe. I love pumpkin. I love dark chocolate. I love waffles. What’s not to love? I feel this may even be better than my Oat Bran Chocolate Chip Pancakes with the pricey real maple syrup. Wish I had a waffle maker.

I’m a single guy with no idea on saving money. While looking for budget web sites, I came by your site by chance and love it. I enjoy the posts and what everyone has to contribute. I wanted to thank you !!!!

Hi Erin, these look yummy! Can you tell me how many waffles it makes? Also, do you think it would turn out okay if I cut the brown sugar in half or left it out altogether? I’m not sure what sugar does for recipes other than sweeten it? Thanks!
This recipe sounds great, and it’s nudging me to finally go out and buy wheat flour for the first time. I’m going to also use Splenda Brown Sugar Blend for the first time, I bought it over a month ago but haven’t baked anything yet.
Very interesting combo but I like it. Going to have to try these.
Hi Erin!
Love your site! Really nice recipes.
I have always been curious, how do you reheat your waffles after freezing? My kids have to be to school really early and we have a long drive to get there. They love waffles, so I would love to be able to make them some healthy ones like these, but need to reheat rather than make fresh in the morning.
Thanks!
