The festive winter breakfast you didn't know you needed

Sweet potato waffles! 🍠

As a rule, I try not to throw around superlatives when describing recipes. It’s rare that I’ll claim something is “the best” or “the easiest”, so when I actually do, I really mean it. Such is the case with these sweet potato waffles.

They are, dare I say, the best waffles I’ve ever made – and maybe even ever eaten, period. They have crackly outsides, custardy insides, and tiny bits of crunchy cornmeal throughout. Scented with vanilla and coconut, they’re even sweet enough to be eaten without maple syrup.

I originally developed this recipe way back in 2017 for The Complete Vegan Cookbook, which I co-wrote with NYC’s Natural Gourmet Institute (i.e. my former employer). I recently remembered about it while brainstorming festive breakfast options for the holiday season. This version is slightly revised to yield a larger batch (six waffles instead of the original four)…
