What Makes This Dish So Tasty
These waffles combine the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the tartness of cranberry maple syrup, creating a perfect balance of flavors. They are hearty, nutritious, and bring a cozy, autumn-inspired twist to your breakfast or brunch table.
Step 1
Heat up your waffle iron according to the instructions that came with it. In a bowl, mix together the sweet potato, milk, egg, and melted butter until everything is combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—try not to overmix.
Step 2
Once your waffle iron is ready, spoon in the batter and cook the waffles until they’re golden and crisp, which usually takes about 3 minutes. While the waffles are cooking, combine the maple syrup, cranberry sauce, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir it occasionally and let it simmer until everything is warmed through and well blended, about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
Serve the waffles hot with a generous drizzle of that cranberry maple syrup on top. Enjoy!
