Instructions

Step 1: Bake the Sweet Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then poke them a few times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, or until soft and caramelized. Let them cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Sweet Potato Purée

Peel off the skins and blend the baked sweet potatoes in a food processor or blender until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Blend the Batter

Add the sweet potato purée, oatmeal, eggs, milk, cinnamon, and baking powder to your blender. Blend until the batter is smooth and slightly thick — it should pour easily but not be runny.

Step 4: Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle maker and lightly spray it with avocado oil or non-stick spray.
Pour about ½ cup of batter onto the waffle iron, set the dial to medium-high (around 6), and cook until golden brown. For extra crispness, let it sit for one more minute after the timer beeps.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your waffles warm with maple syrup, nut butter, banana slices, or a sprinkle of toasted pecans. They’re perfect for cozy mornings, brunch with friends, or a quick weekday reheat.
