Ingredients

1 acorn squash, halved and seeded
water to cover
2 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ cup brown sugar
1 cup milk
2 eggs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 serving cooking spray

Steps:

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