Ingredients
  

1 large sweet potato (approximately 1 cup, mashed)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

Optional: Greek yogurt or pure maple syrup for dipping

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potato: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the sweet potato thoroughly and poke several holes in its skin to allow steam to escape during roasting. Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup and roast in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced with a fork. Remove the sweet potato from the oven, let it cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth. Measure out 1 cup for the recipe.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until all the dry ingredients are well combined and there are no lumps.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them lightly with a whisk. Add the brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to the eggs. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.

        Incorporate Sweet Potato: Carefully fold the mashed sweet potato into the wet ingredient mixture until well integrated. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl, folding gently until just combined. It’s important not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

          Preheat Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron and preheat it according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle plates with cooking spray or a small amount of melted coconut oil to ensure easy release.

            Cook the Waffles: Pour in the batter into the preheated waffle iron (the exact amount will depend on the size of your waffle maker) and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, typically around 4-5 minutes. Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to maintain their warmth and crispiness.

              Cut into Dippers: Once all the waffles are cooked, allow them to cool for about a minute, then cut each waffle into strips or triangles to create delightful dippers.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sweet potato waffle dippers warm, accompanied by a side of creamy Greek yogurt or a drizzle of pure maple syrup for dipping. Enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors in every bite!
