Why these Ingredients
Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips
Notes:
Preheat the waffle iron fully before adding batter. Don’t lift the lid too early — wait until steam stops escaping from the sides.
Tips:
Lightly oil the waffle iron between batches. Sweet potato batter has natural sugars that can stick.
Storage:
Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in a toaster for the crispiest result.
Swaps:
Sweet potato puree can be replaced with pumpkin puree. Oat flour can be swapped for all-purpose flour or a gluten-free blend.
