Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (240g)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds

Optional

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

Instructions 

  • In a bowl, add mashed sweet potato, eggs, and ground flaxseed. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Small lumps are fine.

Notes

  • Use leftover roasted or steamed sweet potatoes to save time.
  • Roast a batch at once for waffles, smoothies, muffins, soups, or sides.
  • Cook waffles 3:15 in a mini waffle maker; let rest 30 seconds for firmness.
  • For a firmer texture, cook longer or toast before serving—ideal for toddlers.
