Notes
- Pro tip: These sweet potato waffles are very easy to make using canned sweet potato puree. You can also use leftover baked sweet potatoes -- just scoop out the flesh and mash them with a fork!
- This recipe has been tested specifically with oat flour, so I don't recommend substituting it with another type of gluten-free flour.
- The number of waffles that this recipe yields will depend on the type of waffle iron that you have.
- Store leftover waffles in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Simply toast and serve.
