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
