In a separate dish, mix together 1/2 cup peanut butter (heated slightly), 2 eggs, and 1/2 cup milk.

Add 2 tablespoons peanut oil to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.

Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing with a whisk initially, then switch to a spatula to avoid overmixing.

Incorporate 1/2 cup grated yellow squash and 1/2 cup grated zucchini into the batter, mixing until just combined with some lumps remaining.

Add 2/3 cup of batter to the waffle maker, spreading it out slightly to prevent overflow.

Cook the waffles according to your waffle maker's instructions, typically making about 5 to 6 waffles.
