Thanksgiving is over and we still have some lingering leftovers. I’m using up the sweet potatoes with some meal prep waffles to put in the freezer. So much better for you than grocery store frozen waffles, extra nutrition from the sweet potatoes, banana, eggs and almond flour fills up hungry growing kids. My kids do not like anything “cooked up” that is orange, so hiding some healthy ingredients in their breakfast is a win. Also makes a great bedtime snack or lunchbox add in served cold. The sweet potatoes could be subbed with leftover mashed pumpkin or butternut squash too! I got this waffle iron last year and am absolutely loving it, two at a time and no clean up.
