Let’s Make Some Sweet Potato Waffles!

Sweet Potato has always been one of my little guy’s favorite foods. I have a great recipe for Sweet Potato Bites that he loves but I wanted to find new ways to use Sweet Potato so I thought it would go great in a healthy waffle recipe! These are soft and easy for my little guy to chew and with only a few ingredients they are super easy to make. This recipe makes a large batch so you can save the extras in the freezer or cut the recipe in half to make a smaller amount.

Why Sweet Potato?

Sweet Potatoes are an incredibly nutritious food, I give it to my little guy pretty much anywhere I can. Sweet Potatoes are a great source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, both of which are extremely beneficial for supporting the immune system. Sweet Potatoes also have a healthy amount of Manganese, a mineral that helps your body to produce collagen which is great for bone health.

Ingredients:

• Two Large Sweet Potatoes

• Two Eggs *Or 1/2 cup applesauce to make them Vegan

• 1/2 Cup Almond Milk

• One Cup Oat Flour

• Pinch of Cinnamon

• Pinch of Nutmeg

How To Make Them:

Start by chopping and steaming your Sweet Potatoes, then puree them with your Almond Milk until smooth.

Cook Waffle for three minutes. Let cool for at least 10 minutes and give to your little one to enjoy!
