Recipe Background

On the weekends I love taking extra time to whip up something fun for my family to enjoy at breakfast. These 2 ingredient sweet potato waffles do just the trick. They are filed with goodness and are delicious to boot. I use a food processor to quickly shred my sweet potato (you can also use a hand grater if you don’t have a food processor handy) and get creative with the fillings and toppings. Two of our favorite combos are apple cinnamon and bacon, leek and corn.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded sweet potato (place in a towel and wring out any excess water)

  • 2 eggs

  • sprinkling of salt

*Optional: spices and other additions. Apple cinnamon or bacon, leek and corn for a savory option.

Instructions

  • Preheat your waffle iron. I turn mine to the highest setting.

  • In a bowl, combine the shredded sweet potato, egg and salt with a fork.

  • Once your waffle iron is ready, liberally grease it with butter, ghee or coconut oil.

  • Place a half cup of the sweet potato mixture on the waffle iron and spread out evenly. My waffle iron displays a green light once its ready and I leave the waffle on the iron for an additional 30 seconds after the green light appears.

Notes

The waffles should pop out of the iron easily. If you have problems with them sticking the iron may not be hot enough or you may need to grease it more. If playing around with additions to the mixture be mindful of adding too many sweeteners (sugar, honey...) as sugars can burn easily. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. If you’re an egg lover like me, add a fried egg on top. I hope you all enjoy this recipe! Don’t be afraid to get creative with those additions and toppings!
