Gluten Free Sweet Potato Waffles

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Waffles: Rich, warming spices, and sweet potato are blended into an easy gluten-free blender waffle batter that is transformed into the perfect fall breakfast.

I have shared many pancake recipes on the blog. Peanut Butter Cup Pancakes, High Protein Blender Oatmeal Pancakes, Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes, PB&J Pancakes and even Sweet Potato Pancakes.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Yet, I have only shared one basic whole wheat waffle  recipe.

So it is high time I give some waffles some love–especially since I love waffles more than pancakes myself. It is those crispy edges and pockets for syrup that get me! So today I am sharing with you one of my fall favorites, Sweet Potato Waffles.

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Waffles

The best part about these sweet potato waffles is the rich warming fall flavor that comes through in every bite.

I love to make them the day after Thanksgiving and sub out my leftover Sweet Potato Casserole for the sweet potato puree. But you could use canned pumpkin or even pumpkin pie –why not?!

How to Make Sweet Potato Waffles

Start with Sweet Potato Puree

• To make sweet potato puree–roast sweet potatoes at 400 degrees for 30 minutes, or until fork tender. Scoop out inside of sweet potato and mash or put in blender and puree until smooth.

Blend Waffle Batter

• Add remainder of ingredients into the blender that you blended the sweet potato puree in.
• Blend until batter is smooth.

Cook Waffles

• Heat waffle iron to medium-high heat.
• Brush with melted butter or coconut oil.
• Pour 1/3 cup waffle batter unto waffle iron an cook until crisp.

Serve Waffles

• Finish with bit of syrup and maybe a few toasted walnuts, and hello, breakfast!

Sweet Potato Waffles with Flour

If you are not looking for a gluten-free recipe, you can easily make these waffles with flour for traditional Sweet Potato Waffles.

• Replace the oats with 2 cups all purpose or whole wheat flour.
• Mix the flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
• Mix together the wet ingredients and pour into the dry ingredients.
• Pour by 1/4 cup onto prepared waffle iron.
• Cook through.

Notes on Sweet Potato Waffles

• You can use gluten-free oats, old fashioned regular oats, or quick cooking oats for these sweet potato waffles. Do NOT use steel-cut oats.
• Instead of sweet potato puree, you can use leftover sweet potato casserole or canned pumpkin puree and these would become Gluten-Free Pumpkin Waffles, instead of Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Waffles
• Any variety milk works well in this easy waffle recipe. Use coconut milk or almond milk to keep these dairy-free sweet potato waffles.
