We’ve infused the classic waffle base with our creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes, for a subtly sweet, deeply flavorful waffle that is crisp on the outside and moist on the inside. The batter is perfectly spiced with warm cinnamon and nutmeg and enriched with buttermilk and melted butter for an unparalleled texture. Serve it sweet for brunch, pair it with fried chicken for a savory entrée, or use it as a creative dessert component. It utilizes easily available seasonal ingredients and provides a unique product that will differentiate your menu during the holiday season.

Ingredients
  •  ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. ground nutmeg
  • 6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1 cup Mashed Sweet Potatoes
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. In a bowl, add flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine.
  2. Cut butter into pieces and gently warm to melt in the microwave or on the stove.
  3. In another bowl, add mashed sweet potatoes, buttermilk, milk, and eggs. Whisk to combine.
  4. Slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the liquid mixture using a rubber spatula until combined and no streaks of flour remain.
  5. Heat the waffle iron to medium. Once ready, spray with non-stick cooking spray and add recommended amount of batter for your waffle iron. Close lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown. Remove waffle from the iron and transfer them to a wire rack.
