Ingredients
  

1 large sweet potato (about 1 cup, mashed)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

Optional: Yogurt or maple syrup for dipping

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potato: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and poke a few holes in the skin of the sweet potato. Place it on a baking sheet and roast it in the oven for about 45 minutes or until fork-tender. Allow the sweet potato to cool, then scoop out the flesh and mash it until smooth. Measure out 1 cup for the recipe.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, then add the brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.

        Incorporate Sweet Potato: Stir the mashed sweet potato into the wet ingredients until fully combined. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed—be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or a little extra coconut oil.

            Cook the Waffles: Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount will depend on your particular waffle maker) and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-5 minutes. Carefully remove the waffles and place them on a wire rack to keep them warm and crispy.

              Cut into Dippers: Once all waffles are cooked, allow them to cool for a minute. Cut each waffle into strips or triangles to create dippers.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sweet potato waffle dippers warm with a side of yogurt or a drizzle of maple syrup for dipping. Enjoy the sweet-savory goodness!
