Recipe
¾ cup (200g) sweet potato, mashed (approx. 1 medium potato)
½ cup (80g) rolled oats
½ cup (60g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
½ cup (60ml) almond milk, unsweetened
2 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
¼ tsp. salt
zest of one orange
¼ cup (30g) pecans, chopped
4 tbsp. maple syrup, to serve
How to Prepare
Preheat the waffle maker.
Place the mashed sweet potato, rolled oats, flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and orange zest into a blender, and blend to form a waffle batter.
Pour a portion of the batter into the waffle maker and cook until the waffles are golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, and serve with the pecans and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat the waffles in the oven or toaster.
