Ingredients

2 cups all purpose flour
¼ cup brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
2 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sweet potato mashed or pureed (can use leftover sweet potatoes)
¼ cup unsalted butter melted
Nonstick cooking spray

To Serve

Maple syrup
Salted butter softened

Instructions

In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves.
2 cups all purpose flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, sweet potatoes and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined. It is okay if there are still some small lumps in the batter. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
2 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 cup sweet potato, ¼ cup unsalted butter
Preheat your waffle iron for about 6 to 7 minutes depending on the model. Spray the inside of the iron with the nonstick spray, then pour in the batter in ½ to ¾ cup portions, or the amount recommended by your waffle iron instructions. Close the lid and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes.
