Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

FOR THE MAPLE PECAN TOPPING

• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon butter

FOR THE CINNAMON GLAZE

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and stir until just mixed. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per waffle or according to your iron's instructions.
6. While the waffles are cooking, prepare the maple pecan topping: In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the pecans and maple syrup. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the pecans are toasted and fragrant.
7. For the cinnamon glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth and drizzly.
8. Serve the waffles warm, drizzled with cinnamon glaze and topped with the maple pecan mixture.

Notes

Storage: Keep leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster for best results.

For an extra crunch, consider adding chopped pecans directly into the waffle batter. If you don’t have sweet potatoes, pumpkin puree can be a delicious substitute. To keep your waffles crispy, serve them immediately after cooking, or place them in a warm oven while you finish the batch.
