Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 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
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
- Bake Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the whole sweet potato 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.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sweet potato puree, eggs, milk, melted ghee, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: To the wet mixture, add the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir gently to combine into a consistent batter without overmixing.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently fold the chopped pecans or walnuts into the batter, distributing them evenly but carefully to preserve texture.
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly spritz or brush the cooking surfaces with oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per waffle onto the preheated waffle maker. Cook each waffle for 5-6 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Serve: Serve waffles warm topped with fresh bananas, extra pecans, and a drizzle of raw honey or maple syrup as desired. Enjoy your wholesome breakfast!
Notes
- Ensure the sweet potato is fully cooled before pureeing to avoid a watery batter.
- You can substitute oat flour with another gluten-free flour if preferred.
- For dairy-free options, use plant-based milk and a suitable butter alternative instead of ghee.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep waffles light and fluffy.
- Chop nuts finely if you prefer smaller crunchy bits distributed evenly.
- Waffles can be kept warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the batch.
