Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Cooked Mashed Sweet Potato
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/4 cups Orange Juice
- 1/4 cups Firmly Packed Brown Sugar
- 1/4 cups Coconut Oil, Melted (may Substitute Butter)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 6 whole Egg Whites, At Room Temperature
- 1/3 cups Chopped Pecans
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sweet potato, milk, orange juice, brown sugar, coconut oil and vanilla. Add this into the flour mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be very thick.
- In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer on low speed until foamy, then increase speed to high and beat until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold egg whites into the sweet potato batter 1/3 at a time.
- Preheat oven to 200 F.
- Ladle or scoop batter onto a preheated, greased waffle iron then sprinkle evenly with a small amount of the chopped pecans. Cook until lightly browned (exact cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron so follow manufacturer's instructions). Keep cooked waffles warm on a cookie sheet in a 200 F oven while you cook the remaining waffles. Serve with maple syrup and love.
- Leftover waffles can be frozen and reheated in the toaster (I like to microwave mine for 20-30 seconds just to take the chill off of them before putting them in the toaster.)
- This recipe was adapted from Alton Brown.
