You guys, I can't even tell you how many batches of sad, soggy sweet potato waffles I made before figuring this one out! These sweet potato waffles are finally the perfect balance of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My kids devour them every weekend, and I feel pretty great sneaking in all those nutrients with my little cornmeal trick that guarantees perfect texture every time.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato
  • 1 cup milk (of your choice, or buttermilk)
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted, or any oil of your choice)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup gluten free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal (finely ground or medium)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato, milk, butter, egg, and vanilla extract.

  2. 2

    Add flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir until just combined.

  3. 3

    Let the batter rest while you heat up the waffle maker. Once heated, add 1/4 cup of the batter into the waffle maker for mini waffles, or 1/2 cup for regular waffles.

  4. 4

    Cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Repeat with the remaining batter.

  5. 5

    Top with your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
