Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk (almond, oat, or soy)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water (flaxseed egg)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons melted coconut oil or vegan butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and boil or bake the sweet potatoes until soft. Once cooked, mash thoroughly until smooth with no lumps to ensure moist and naturally sweet waffles.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes with non-dairy milk, melted coconut oil or vegan butter, maple syrup, flaxseed mixture, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for even distribution and fluffiness.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry Components: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to form a thick batter. Avoid overmixing to keep waffles light and airy.
  5. Cook the Waffles: Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the iron, close, and cook until golden brown and crisp. Repeat until all batter is used.

Notes

  • Use cooled sweet potatoes for best batter consistency.
  • Do not overmix the batter; stir just enough to combine.
  • Preheat the waffle iron well to achieve crispy edges.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time based on waffle thickness and desired crispiness.
