Vegan Sweet Potato Waffles are warm, comforting, and packed with flavor. Made with wholesome ingredients like sweet potatoes and whole grain flour, these waffles are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect for a cozy breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

  1. 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  2. 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour blend optional)
  3. 1 tablespoon baking powder
  4. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  5. 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  6. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  7. 3/4 cup almond milk or any plant-based milk
  8. 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  9. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  10. 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil (melted)
  11. Optional toppings: fresh fruit, maple syrup, vegan butter, or nut butter

Instructions

Cook the sweet potato: Steam or boil the sweet potato until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Mash until smooth.

  1. Prepare the waffle batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Add the mashed sweet potato and stir until fully combined.
  3. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.
  4. Cook the waffles: Preheat the waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour batter onto the waffle iron, cook for 4-5 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  5. Serve: Serve warm with toppings of choice such as maple syrup, fruit, or nut butter.

Notes

  1. For added texture and flavor, try mixing in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
  2. To make these waffles extra spiced, add ground ginger or cloves to the batter.
  3. For a coconut twist, substitute some of the flour with coconut flour.
