Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Sweet potatoes cooked and mashed
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 ½ cups Milk
- ¼ cup Unsalted butter melted
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Maple syrup For serving
- Whipped cream For serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense waffles.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once heated, lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
- Spoon the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, using about ½ cup of batter for each waffle. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and crispy, usually about 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the sweet potato waffles warm with maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
Notes
- Smooth batter — To ensure a smooth batter, make sure the mashed sweet potatoes are well-blended. You can use a blender or food processor to achieve a silky texture.
- Preheating the waffle iron — Give your waffle iron enough time to preheat properly. This will help create crispy waffles with a golden-brown exterior.
- Don't overmix — When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough waffles.
- Adjusting consistency — If the batter seems too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out. If it's too thin, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
- Freezing waffles — If you have extra waffles, let them cool completely, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months. To reheat, simply toast them straight from the freezer.
