Sweet Potato Waffles

Ingredients

• 1 cup of cooked and mashed sweet potato (about 2 potatoes)
• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1 tbsp coconut flour
• 3 eggs, separated into yolks and whites
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp spice blend. Any combination of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, or allspice will work great.  
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Directions

1. Preheat your waffle maker
2. Separate the eggs' yolks and whites. Place egg whites in a small bowl and set aside. Add just the egg yolks to a large mixing bowl
3. Add the remaining ingredients above (except the egg whites) to the large mixing bowl. Blend at low speed with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes, or mix well by hand. The batter will be thick – don't thin it!
4. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with electric mixer until stiff peaks form
5. Now gently fold the beaten egg whites into the batter with a spatula
6. Lightly brush your pre-heated waffle maker grates with coconut oil. (Repeat every time you cook a new batch.)
7. Spoon batter into the molds and cook until golden. 
8. Serve warm with fresh fruit topping or maple syrup
