Sweet potato waffles
We love to start our day with a portion of vegetables and sweet potato waffles are just about the best way I can think of to do so! Equally delicious with sweet or savoury toppings, these vegan sweet potato waffles are 100% kid approved and very tasty indeed.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 400 ml oat milk or other plant based milk
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or lemon juice or white wine vinegar
- 200 g plain flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 150 g sweet potato purée
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract omit if making savoury version
Instructions
- Pour 400ml oat milk into a measuring jug and add 1 tablespoon cider vinegar. Set aside.
- Place 200g plain flour into a large mixing bowl with 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk together.
- Add the oat milk mixture, 150g sweet potato purée, 2 tablespoons sunflower oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Pre-heat the waffle iron and brush the sides with a little oil. Add a large spoonful of batter to the waffle iron and cook for 5 minutes (exact cooking time will depend upon your waffle maker) until cooked through and crispy on the outside.
- Serve immediately with coconut yoghurt, fruit and maple syrup.
Notes
- *Due to the moisture content of the sweet potato these waffles are slightly less crispy than regular waffles. They are best eaten immediately or reheated in a toaster, which helps to crisp up the outsides again.
