Savory Sweet Potato Waffles
These savory sweet potato waffles are made with no flour, simple ingredients, and work perfectly as toddler-friendly waffle buns for burgers, sandwiches, or quick meals.
Equipment
- fork or potato masher
- masher cups and utensils
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed cooked sweet potato
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon garlic or onion powder optional
- pinch of salt optional
- cooking spray or oil for greasing waffle maker
Instructions
- Preheat mini waffle maker and grease well. In a bowl, mix mashed sweet potato, eggs, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until combined.
- Add about 2-3 tablespoons of batter to the waffle maker and spread slightly. Cook for 4-6 minutes (depending waffle maker), or until the waffle is set and lightly golden.
- Carefully remove and let cool on cooling rack for 1-2 minutes. Waffles will firm up as they sit.
- Repeat with remaining batter. Use 2 mini waffles as a burger bun, sandwich bun, or serve as-is.
Notes
Cook these longer than traditional waffles so they hold together well. Avoid opening the waffle maker too early or they may split. For best texture, let them cool slightly before using as burger buns.
If you want a firmer, more structured waffle, you can add: ⅓ cup flour + ½ teaspoon baking powder
