# Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 -
½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground
02 -
1 teaspoon soda for baking
03 -
2 teaspoons powder for baking
04 -
2 cups plain flour
05 -
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
→ Wet Ingredients
06 -
¼ cup packed brown sugar
07 -
¾ cup any milk you prefer
08 -
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
09 -
2 cups sweet potatoes, mashed
10 -
2 eggs, whites only
11 -
2 eggs, yolks only
12 -
¼ cup melted oil or butter (neutral flavor)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a big bowl, toss in flour, baking powder, baking soda, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. Use a whisk to stir it all together. Set aside once mixed.
02 -
Crack the eggs and place yolks in one medium bowl, while whites go into another. Put the egg white bowl on standby for later.
03 -
Mix the mashed sweet potatoes, oil or melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk with the egg yolks. Keep whisking until the mixture looks smooth and uniform.
04 -
Gently stir the wet bowl into the dry ingredients. Mix just enough to blend everything together and smooth out lumps. Pause here for now.
05 -
Plug in a hand mixer and whisk the whites until they’re forming soft peaks. Slowly sprinkle in the brown sugar while beating, then continue until stiff peaks appear.
06 -
Carefully fold the beaten whites into the batter. Don’t overdo it; stop once the whites and batter have merged into one.
07 -
Turn on the waffle maker and let it fully heat. Spray it with neutral-flavored cooking spray to prevent sticking. Ensure every corner gets coated.
08 -
Pour batter into the waffle iron using a scoop, cup, or ladle. Shut the lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the steam stops and the waffles turn golden.
09 -
Once done, lift the waffles out and place them on a plate. Continue this process with the rest of the batter. Add your favorite toppings and dig in while warm.
# Notes:
01 -
How many waffles you get depends on the size of your waffle iron and how much batter you use for each one.
02 -
For gluten-free waffles, swap out the plain flour for a gluten-free version.
