120 grams (~ ¾ cup) baked sweet potato, 3 large eggs, 150 ml (⅔ cup) non-dairy milk, 80 grams (⅓ cup) melted coconut oil, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk again to mix until no streaks of flour remain.
200 grams (2 ¼ cups) oat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, ½ teaspoon sea salt
Set the batter aside while you preheat your waffle iron. Once hot, bake the waffles according to your iron instructions. The Belgian-style iron pictured takes about two minutes per waffle on the hottest setting.
Transfer the waffles to a warm oven to keep warm, or serve immediately. They will get less crisp the longer they sit.
Keep leftover waffles in a sealed container at room temperature for a couple of days. They can be frozen in an airtight container for up to two months. Reheat in a toaster to crisp up again before serving.

Notes

Depending on size, this can make anywhere from half a dozen to about a dozen waffles. It serves about six people depending on appetite (we usually have enough for several meals). They're more filling than standard waffles.

Use 2 cups of oat flour if using store-bought and measuring with cups.
