Instructions

Steam sweet potato (use frozen sweet potatoes to make it easier).
Puree in food processor or blender with a little bit of water until smooth.
Add sweet potato puree and egg to a mixing bowl and mix until smooth.
Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and mix.
Warm your waffle maker, spray with cooking spray, and cook!

Notes

Use a mini waffle maker for toddler-sized portions that are easier for tiny hands.

These waffles are toddler-tested and freezer-approved—perfect for batch prep and quick breakfasts.

If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to thin it out for pouring consistency.

Leftover mashed sweet potatoes make this recipe a great way to use them up before they go bad!
