  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 6 waffles

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Mixture

  • 1 large sweet potato, cooked and peeled (about 1 1/4 cups sweet potato puree)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tablespoons melted ghee
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potato: Bake your sweet potato at 400°F (204°C) for about 45 minutes until tender. Once cooled, peel off the skin and puree the flesh in a food processor or high-speed blender until smooth.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet potato puree, eggs, milk, melted ghee, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the wet mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to form a smooth batter without overmixing.
  4. Fold in Nuts: Carefully fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Preheat Waffle Maker: Heat your waffle iron and lightly spray or brush it with oil to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the Waffles: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per waffle onto the preheated waffle maker. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  7. Serve: Serve warm waffles topped with fresh banana slices, extra pecans, and a drizzle of raw honey or maple syrup for added sweetness. Enjoy your nutritious morning meal!

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour with gluten-free flour blends if gluten sensitivity is a concern.
  • Use dairy or plant-based milk according to your preference to keep the recipe vegan friendly if you substitute eggs accordingly.
  • For extra crispiness, let the waffles rest on a wire rack for a few minutes after cooking.
  • Sweet potatoes can be cooked in advance and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
