These healthy sweet potato waffles are made with simple ingredients thrown together in a blender and cooked quickly in a waffle maker to have breakfast ready in minutes!

These blender waffles are soft-textured and perfect for babies and toddlers. They have natural sweetness from the sweet potato, but you can add in a little maple syrup for some added sweetness!

What You’ll Need

Here is what you’ll need to make these sweet potato waffles:

• Sweet Potato Puree: You can cook a sweet potato in the oven, slow cooker, or microwave!
• Rolled Oats: I love baking with rolled oats as they are packed with nutrition! Gluten-free rolled oats make these waffles gluten-free.
• Eggs: Used as a binder to help hold the waffles together.
• Cinnamon/Nutmeg: Warm spices combination for added flavor.
• Vanilla Extract: For added flavor to the waffles.
• Baking Powder: Leavening agent to help the waffles rise.
• Maple Syrup: For added sweetness.

Step By Step Instructions

1. Blend all of the ingredients together until smooth. 
2. Pour the batter into a preheated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions. Grease the waffle iron if needed.
3. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup or as is!

Ingredient Substitutions

• Egg: You may replace the egg with a flax egg. To make a flax egg, combine 3 tablespoons of water with 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 15 minutes until it forms a gel-like texture.
• Oats: You may replace the oat flour with all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour. I used old-fashioned rolled oats in this recipe.
• Nutmeg: You may replace the nutmeg with equal parts ground cinnamon.

Storage Instructions

Let the waffles completely cool and store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator. To freeze, store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag for up to 2 months. You may reheat on low heat in a pan or simply microwave for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through!

Recipe Notes

• I use this nutribullet blender to blend the ingredients into a smooth batter.
• Do not overfill your waffle maker with batter. The waffles will rise slightly during cooking and may not cook properly if overfilled.
• You may need to spray your waffle iron with a little cooking spray depending on the type of waffle maker you have to prevent sticking. I love using this mini waffle maker or this multi mini waffle maker to make small eggo-sized waffles and no spraying is needed!
• I usually prepare sweet potato puree by baking a sweet potato in the oven at 425 degrees F for 50-60 minutes, or until it is tender and then mashing it into a puree! If you are baking the potato, make sure to poke holes into the potato with a fork before placing it into the oven.
