Ingredients & Substitutions
Using sweet potatoes not only adds natural sweetness but also loads of nutrients. If you want a deeper flavor, try roasting the sweet potatoes instead of boiling them. And don't worry if you don’t have nutritional yeast; you can skip it, but it really enhances the savory profile of the waffles!
Tips & Notes
- •I love to store any leftover waffles in the fridge and pop them in the toaster for a quick breakfast during the week.
- •You can experiment with different herbs or spices to change the flavor profile—rosemary or thyme work beautifully too!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a handful of spinach to the batter for an extra boost of greens.
- •If I'm feeling indulgent, I’ll sprinkle in some vegan cheese for a gooey surprise!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them! Just pop them in a freezer bag, and they’ll be perfect for a quick meal later.
