Instead of sweet potato pie (which I'm not that fond of), I made sweet potato muffins and I was thrilled with the results. Muffin or cupcake? Frosted or unfrosted? Doesn't matter--these really are fantastic.

Provided by Crystal Hatch

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 5 waffles

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups whole wheat
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup milk
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups mashed sweet potato
oil, of choice, for greasing
1 cup cranberry sauce
¼ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 pink lady apple
¼ cup water
½ cup raw pecans, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese

Steps:

  • Make the waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, olive oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and sweet potato until smooth.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.
  • Heat a waffle iron and grease with oil.
  • Scoop enough batter to fill your waffle iron into the center. Close the iron and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown and cooked all the way through. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
  • Make the cranberry syrup: Add the cranberry sauce and orange juice to a blender and blend until smooth. The syrup should be thin enough to drizzle, but not liquidy. Add more orange juice as needed to reach the right consistency. Set aside.
  • Make the pecan topping: In a small saucepan, combine the apple, pecans, maple syrup, and water. Cook over medium-high heat until the syrup starts to glaze the pecans and the apples soften, about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the waffles warm with the pecan topping, cranberry syrup, and a few pieces of goat cheese, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
