Chocolate Chip Cinnamon Waffles

The Dinner Doctor Cookbook,  Anne Byrn.

Vegetable oil cooking spray for misting the waffle iron

1 3/4 cups biscuit mix such as Bisquick
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 1/4 cups milk
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Pinch of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips

Preheat an electric waffle iron. Mist the top and bottom of the interior with vegetable oil cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 250 F (you will use it to keep the waffles warm until they are all ready to serve).

Place the biscuit mix, cocoa, milk, egg, oil and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine well. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until they are just incorporated. Ladle about 1/3 of the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it out so that it almost but not entirely covers the bottom. Close the lid and cook the waffle for 3-4 minutes or until the light comes on to indicate that the waffle is done. The waffle is fully cooked when it does not stick to the top or bottom of the iron. Using a fork, transfer the waffle to a heatproof plate and place it in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining waffle batter.

Makes 6 waffles (6 inches each)

Note: I added 2 tablespoons sugar to the batter before cooking and more cinnamon.

(Originally by Love to Cook)
 www.tastesbetterfromscratch.blogspot.com

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2  teaspoon cinnamon
2 egg yolks
2 egg whites, beaten stiff
1 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter, melted

2-3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

or

2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice instead of the spices above.

Spread waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray and heat to desired temperature.

Combine cornstarch and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk together to break apart the cornstarch. Add the remaining dry ingredients and whisk to blend.

Separate the eggs. Add the pumpkin and milk to the egg yolks; whisk to blend well. Add the melted butter; whisk to blend and set aside. Whisk the egg whites with a hand mixer on high until stiff peaks form, 1-1 1/2 minutes. Set aside.

Add the pumpkin mixture to the dry ingredients and mix them together until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites until blended.

Pour the batter on the heated waffle iron and cook to perfection (I added 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips to the batter before cooking).

* To lower the cholesterol, I used 1 egg yolk and 3 eggs whites.

Note: You can freeze leftover waffles and then pop them in the toaster later.
