Hearty cinnamon apple sweet potato waffles blend comforting autumn flavors with wholesome ingredients. Golden-brown waffles offer a delightful breakfast experience you’ll savor with each crisp, warm bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet potato, spiralized
- 1 apple
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the waffle iron by heating it to the recommended temperature.
- Coat a medium skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium-high heat. Sauté the spiralized sweet potatoes, stirring consistently until they become tender and soft, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes cook, grate the apple using large holes on a grater, removing any seeds. Transfer grated apple to a mixing bowl and combine with cooked sweet potato noodles, ground cinnamon, and egg. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Lightly spray waffle iron with cooking spray. Spread half the sweet potato-apple mixture into the iron, ensuring even coverage. Cook until the exterior turns golden brown and crispy, which typically takes 8-10 minutes depending on your specific waffle maker.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining sweet potato mixture to create additional waffles.
- Plate the waffles immediately and garnish with your preferred toppings for a delightful serving.
Notes
- Enhance waffle texture by squeezing excess moisture from grated apples using a clean kitchen towel before mixing with sweet potatoes.
- Experiment with alternative spices like nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice to create unique flavor variations while maintaining the recipe’s core profile.
- For gluten-free option, ensure using a gluten-free waffle iron or thoroughly cleaning the surface to prevent cross-contamination.
- Boost protein content by adding a scoop of protein powder or Greek yogurt to the mixture for a more nutritionally balanced breakfast.
