These savory sweet potato waffles are a delightful twist on a classic breakfast dish. They are fluffy, slightly sweet, and packed with flavor, making them perfect for any morning meal.
Ingredients
1 whole sweet potato
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
a pinch none salt
2 large eggs
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp lime juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lime zest
Method
Begin by piercing a sweet potato with a fork and placing it in a microwave-safe dish; microwave for 5 to 10 minutes until tender. Allow it to cool slightly, then measure out 3/4 cup for the recipe, saving any extra for future use.
Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt using a whisk.
In another bowl, mash the cooked sweet potato and blend it with eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, fresh lime juice, vanilla extract, and lime zest. Stir until well combined.
Add the sweet potato mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until you form a smooth batter.
Spoon the batter into the preheated waffle maker and cook according to the manufacturer's guidelines, typically around 5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter.
