So we’re all (well, most of us. Sorry, non-US readers) gearing up to stuff our faces tomorrow, right? Right. And while I wish my stomach would understand at 8am tomorrow morning when it’s all “GIVE ME FOOD!” that it doesn’t need breakfast because it’s about to get 7,000 calories later in the day (5,000 of which will be stuffing alone), it just doesn’t. Which brings us to breakfast. If we’re gonna eat, we might as well do it well. No lame breakfasts on Thanksgiving allowed.

Now I know you have at least half a can of pumpkin still lingering around from whatever pumpkin-izing you’re planning for tomorrow. Get it out. We’re making waffle bites!

Why bites and not full sized waffles? Because they’re cute. And who doesn’t want to eat cute food?

They’re crispy on the edges, pumpkin-y and soft in the middle and they’ve got juuuust enough spice to keep you on your toes from the ginger. So eat up, and then get that turkey in the oven!

Happy Thanksgiving!
