Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree
- ¾ cup milk
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup oil *see note
- ¾ cup flour can use half whole wheat
- ⅓ cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare your sweet potato puree by steaming roughly 2.5 cups of ½ inch sweet potato cubes for 10 minutes or until soft. Mash or blend with a hand mixer until smooth.
- Combine the sweet potato puree with milk, egg and oil, and mix until completely combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Cook on a greased waffle maker (I use spray oil) until cooked through. On my waffle maker, this was 3-4 minutes.
- Serve immediately or allow to cool completely.
Storage
- To freeze: Wrap in plastic wrap, or in plastic bags. Combine individual portions in a large ziplock freezer bag.
- To thaw: Place frozen waffles in the toaster, and toast until crisp and heated through

Notes
Make sure to use a fine ground cornmeal (not coarse)
Coconut oil and vegetable oil give nice, crispy waffles. Apple sauce may be substituted for the oil but will not give a crispy waffle, and you need to be careful that they don't burn.
Topping suggestions:
1) avocado, corn and pepitas (plus sea salt)
2) almond butter, hemp seeds and shredded coconut
3) yogurt, berries, almonds and cinnamon
4) poached egg (not shown)
