Ingredients

Scale

Waffle Batter

  • 1 cup cooked sweet potato puree or mashed roasted sweet potato (from about 1 large sweet potato)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine ground pepper
  • 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Mix wet ingredients. In a mixing bowl add the 1 cup cooked sweet potato puree or mashed roasted sweet potato, together with the 1 cup buttermilk, 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Whisk by hand until smooth.
  2. Combine dry ingredients. In a small bowl, mix the 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon fine kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon fine ground pepper. Add the flour mixture to the bowl of sweet potato mixture and whisk until combined.
  3. Fold in cheeses. Fold in the 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese.
  4. Preheat waffle maker. Preheat your waffle maker and spray with a tiny bit of oil, if needed.
  5. Cook waffles. Pour the usual amount of batter into your preheated waffle iron (for my mini waffle iron this is around 2 tablespoons) and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy outside, around 4-6 minutes.
  6. Serve. Enjoy your warm savory waffles with sliced avocado and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
