Sweet Potato Waffles are golden, crispy, and naturally sweet, made with mashed sweet potatoes for a wholesome twist on a breakfast favorite. Perfectly spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, they’re ideal for cozy mornings, brunches, or meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (cooked and cooled)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat waffle iron: Set to medium-high heat and lightly grease with oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and melted butter until smooth.
  4. Combine: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir until just combined. Batter should be thick but pourable.
  5. Cook waffles: Pour batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook 4–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Serve: Serve warm with maple syrup, pecans, or a dollop of yogurt.

Notes

  • Cook waffles an extra minute for extra crispiness.
  • Use day-old mashed sweet potatoes for the best texture.
  • For a savory twist, skip sugar and vanilla, and add herbs or cheese.
  • Keep waffles warm in a 200°F oven while finishing batches.
