Instructions
Sweet potato puree
- Peel and chop 1 medium sized sweet potato into medium sized pieces and add to a pot with a sprinkle of salt. Cover with water and bring to a boil.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. They're ready when they are fork tender.
- Drain the sweet potato pieces and transfer them to a food processor. Blend for 30-60, until the puree is smooth. Measure 1 cup for the waffle recipe.
Sweet potato waffles
- Add the sweet potato puree and plant milk to a food processor and blend for 10 seconds, until the mixture is thin and smooth.
- Add the all purpose flour, baking powder, salt, spices, and dill. Blend until smooth, about 20. You may need to scrape down the edges.
- Heat your waffle maker and brush both sides with neutral oil or butter. Add 1/3-2/3 cups of the filling to the waffle grid. The mixture should just cover the grid and reach the sides. Don't overfill.
- Cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on the strength of your waffle maker. The outside of the waffle should be crispy and the grid indents should be dark brown in colour.
