Sweet Potato Waffles

Look at all those squares begging for a topping

Once in awhile, I'll have a hankering for these waffles.  My husband made them for the first time last winter and we have been hooked every since.  With an overabundance of leftover sweet potatoes in the fridge, I knew we had to make them.  It's not an exact recipe; more of a semi homemade, "eye ball it" kind of batter.  If the batter's too thin, add more waffle mix.  Not enough moisture, add more pureed sweet potatoes.  Use your best judgement :) 

Sweet Potato Waffles

2 C Belgian waffle mix, plus the ingredients called for on the back of the box to make 4-5 waffles

2 C pureed, cooked sweet potatoes

Mix until you have a smooth batter (some lumps are fine)

Spray your waffle iron with non stick spray and drop the batter by heaping 1/3 cup measures

Makes 7-8 waffles

Serve warm with whipped cream cheese, butter, syrup, etc.  Or you could make this yummy compote:

Core and dice 1 apple.  Add to medium saucepan with a handful of dried cranberries.  Fill with water to cover.  Reduce fruit mixture and serve warm or room temperature atop waffles.  Add some sausage or bacon to the side and you have yourself a Fall breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  

Enjoy :)        

The triangular edges are super moist

Don't eat too many at once...these are rich!
