Leftover Sweet Potato Waffles

Leftover Sweet Potato Waffles are a great use-up for mashed sweet potatoes, pumpkin or butternut squash. Add nutrition to a breakfast favorite, or an easy weeknight dinner!

Sweet Potato Waffles

Thanksgiving Leftovers

Thanksgiving is over and we still have some lingering leftovers. I’m using up the mashed sweet potatoes for a waffles and sausage dinner. These Leftover Sweet Potato Waffles are the perfect November flavor, but any orange mashed leftover will do and they are delicious any time of year. Try the same recipe with mashed butternut squash or canned pumpkin. The hint of cinnamon gives you that familiar pumpkin pie flavor.

Sweet Potato Waffles

Healthy Waffles

Waffles by nature are usually not very nutritious, being made up mostly of flour. Not these! I’ve subbed some of the flour for rolled oats and almond flour, and added plain yogurt. The sweet potatoes, or any orange food, are so nutrient dense, so they make the perfect breakfast OR dinner! I’ve even made this recipe from the cut outs of Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns, roasted and mashed! Remember that the sweet potato and banana is going to give you a bit denser waffle. They are so much better for you than store-bought frozen waffles, I like to make waffles for breakfast meal prep to stock my freezer.

Sweet Potato Waffles

As a rule, my kids don’t like anything “cooked up” that is orange (squash, carrots, or sweet potatoes). Kids can be picky in their own ways, so hiding some healthy ingredients in their favorite meals is a win. The extra nutrition from the sweet potatoes, banana, eggs and almond flour fills up hungry growing kids. Meal prepped frozen waffles make a healthy bedtime snack or lunchbox extra, or just a grab-and-go snack. Pop it in the toaster or even eat it cold.

I got this waffle iron last year and am absolutely loving it, two at a time and no clean up.

Cheers to 2021🥂 A difficult year to look back o Cheers to 2021🥂 A difficult year to look back on for sure, but as we flipped through the year's photos last night, it contained a lot of good times.  We are looking at life a little differently, the sleep I lost from online school decisions will fade from memory, while the inspiration from watching people like @sarahcrowleyceramics and @midwest.foodie will keep me grinding the coffee in the basement at 5am to work a few silent moments before the kids wake.  May the early morning runs, the new covid friendships, the extreme hiking and the family pizza nights carry on.  May 2021 be a good year ✌️
