Sweet Potato Casserole Waffles
Every Southern family has their own special recipe for Sweet Potato Casserole. These waffles combine the down-home goodness of a sweet potato casserole with the crisp, deliciousness of a fresh baked waffle. Kind of think of it as a little “walking around” casserole. Grab it and go or pile on a piece of Spicy Southern Chickn’ for some Chickn’ and Waffles that’ll have you wondering why you didn’t try this sooner. A generous side of The Bombdiggity Vegan Bacon would also do these Sweet Potato Casserole Waffles proud! Just perfect for a weekend brunch!
- Prep Time: 30 minutes
- Cook Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: About 8 6 inch waffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups coconut milk (or your favorite non-dairy milk..if I have time to make milk from scratch, I prefer rice milk)
- 1 TBL apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups all purpose flour (use gluten-free all purpose flour, if desired)
- 1 Tbl baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground cloves
- 1/8 tsp freshly grated ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 TBL ground golden flaxseed
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- 3 TBL coconut oil
- 2 TBL maple syrup (pure syrup not that crappy stuff)
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup peeled grated sweet potato
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup toasted pecan pieces
- 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/4 cup orange zest, finely grated
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- In medium bowl, combine the coconut milk (or your milk of choice) with the apple cider vinegar. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and the salt.
- Add the ground flaxseed to the milk mixture. With a whisk, mix vigorously until well blended and frothy.
- Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture.
- Add in the juice, coconut oil, maple syrup and the vanilla. Mix with a fork, just until no big lumps appear.
- Fold in the sweet potato, cranberries, pecans and orange zest.
- Preheat your waffle iron while the batter rests. Once the waffle iron has reached the desired temperature, cook the waffles according the waffle iron directions. Make sure to spray the waffle iron with the non-stick spray between each batch of waffles.
Notes
Perfect served with Boozy Orange Maple Syrup and Spicy Southern Fried Chickn’!
You make these bad boys on the weekend, when you’re running a little longer on time, and freezer them. Then, just pop them into the toaster for a quick weekday breakfast.
