Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 waffle maker
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (2 small sweet potatoes)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup buckwheat flour (or oat/wheat flour)
- 1/2 cup self-raising flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup almond/soy milk (adjust the amount of milk based on your desired consistency)
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes and eggs. Mix until well combined. Gradually add the buckwheat flour, self-raising flour, and baking powder to the sweet potato mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
- Pour in the milk gradually, stirring until the batter reaches your desired consistency. Add more milk for a thinner batter or less for a thicker one.
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush it with oil to prevent the waffles from sticking.
- Once the waffle iron is heated, pour a portion of the batter onto the center of the iron, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove the cooked waffles from the iron and place them on a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.
- Serve the sweet potato waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, or maple syrup.
