Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup mashed sweet potato*
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs To replace this recipe with flax eggs, see the notes section below.
  • 1 1/4 cups milk
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil or butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • To make the mashed sweet potato mash, peel and dice 1 large sweet potato and boil until fork tender. Drain and place the sweet potato in a food processor to puree. Let it cool before using. [Tip: Spread the mash on a plate to help it cool quickly.]
  • Place all of the waffle ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Heat the waffle iron on medium heat and pour batter into the center of the iron. Close lid and cook for approximately 4-5 minutes or as long as needed. [Note: I use a 1/2 cup of batter to make the waffles pictured in this post on my waffle iron but you will need to follow manufacturer directions for your own waffle iron as sizes can vary].

Notes
