Sweet Potato Waffles

Ingredients

• 175 g Baked sweet potato flesh (from about ½ large sweet potato), mashed
• 1 cup (100 g) Oat flour
• 175 ml Unsweetened soy milk
• 1 tbsp Neutral oil (like canola or sunflower oil), plus more for the waffle iron
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp Salt
• For serving Sliced banana, fresh strawberries, and maple syrup

Instructions

1. 1

   If you don't have a pre-baked sweet potato, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Prick the sweet potato all over with a fork, place it on a baking sheet, and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until it is very soft and mushy inside. Let it cool for a few minutes until you can handle it.

2. 2

   Scoop the flesh out of the sweet potato half and place it in a large bowl. Mash it thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth. You should have about 175g (or roughly ¾ cup).

3. 3

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

4. 4

   To the bowl with the mashed sweet potato, add the soy milk and neutral oil. Whisk until well combined.

5. 5

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

6. 6

   Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

7. 7

   Lightly grease the waffle iron with a bit of neutral oil. Pour about half of the batter onto the hot iron (the exact amount will depend on your waffle maker size) and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter.

8. 8

   Serve the waffles immediately, topped with sliced banana, fresh strawberries, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup.
