Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium, peeled and cooked)
- ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 2 large eggs
Other
- Cooking spray
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron following the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking the batter evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined to distribute the leavening agent and spices evenly.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk the mashed sweet potato, unsweetened almond milk, light brown sugar, avocado oil, and eggs together until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredient bowl and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix, which can lead to tough waffles.
- Prepare Waffle Iron: Spray the preheated waffle iron lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Cook Waffles: Pour approximately ⅓ cup of batter onto the waffle iron. Close and cook for 6–8 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust time according to your waffle iron’s specifics.
- Serve: Remove the waffles carefully and serve warm topped with maple syrup, or your favorite waffle toppings.
