Ingredients

• 1 cup Sweet potato (cooked and mashed)
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Light brown sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.25 cups Milk (preferably whole milk)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 5

Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour the appropriate amount of waffle batter into the waffle iron (consult your waffle iron's instructions for the recommended amount) and close the lid.

Step 7

Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s settings, usually about 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 8

Carefully remove the waffles from the waffle iron and place them on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 9

Serve the waffles warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.
