Ingredients
Scale
- 1 apple, grated
- 1 large sweet potato, spiralized
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Cooking spray, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron.
- Spray a medium skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
- Add the spiralized sweet potato and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the sweet potato cooks, grate the apple using the large holes of a grater and remove any seeds.
- Add the grated apple to a medium bowl, then add the cooked sweet potato, cinnamon, and lightly beaten egg.
- Toss everything together until well combined.
- Spray the hot waffle iron with cooking spray and add half of the sweet potato mixture.
- Cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp, about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on your waffle iron.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Cook the sweet potato until just tender, not mushy, for the best waffle texture.
- The apple does not need to be cooked before adding it to the mixture.
- Preheat the waffle iron fully to help the waffles turn crisp and golden.
- If the mixture seems too wet, let excess moisture evaporate before cooking.
- Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
- These waffles can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or oven.
- You can freeze cooked waffles for up to 2 months.
