Belgian Buckwheat Sweet Potato Waffles (gluten-free)

I LOVE waffles. Please enjoy this amazing plate of sweet potato goodness! These waffles are gluten-free, dairy-free, crisp on the outside but pillowy on the inside. The mornings simply don't get better.

Belgian Buckwheat Sweet Potato Waffles

You need:

  • 1 cup cubed and peeled sweet potatoes (1/2" cubes)
  • 1 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 pitted Medjool date
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 egg, beaten (You could sub flax egg but I haven't tested)

Get cooking:

  1. Steam sweet potatoes until fork tender, about 20 minutes. (You could also boil them to reach softness)
  2. Heat waffle maker to desired setting. I used the belgian waffle setting on level 3 (out of 10)
  3. Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse a few times until combined.
  4. Everyone's waffle maker is different but I use about 1/4-1/2 cup per waffle. 
  5. Top with fresh berries, maple syrup, coconut whip cream and mint if desired!
