Description
These easy, flourless waffles use mashed sweet potato, eggs, and cinnamon for a wholesome breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (450g) cooked sweet potato puree, cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Oil or nonstick spray, for the waffle iron
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweet potato puree, eggs, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the batter is smooth and well combined. Some small texture from the potato is fine.
- Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting. Once hot, lightly grease the grids with oil or nonstick spray.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each waffle onto the hot iron. Spread it slightly if needed.
- Close the lid and cook for 4 to 6 minutes. The waffles are done when they are golden brown, firm, and release easily.
- Carefully remove the waffles with a fork or tongs and place them on a wire rack to keep them from getting soggy.
- Repeat the process with the remaining batter, greasing the waffle iron between batches if necessary.
- Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron. Adjust as needed.
- For the smoothest batter, you can blend the ingredients in a blender instead of whisking by hand.
- Ensure waffles are cooked through until firm to the touch, which indicates the egg is fully cooked.
- If you don’t have leftover cooked sweet potato, you can bake two medium sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 45-60 minutes, or until very tender.
