Ingredients

• 2 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 eggs
• 1 3/4 cups milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter

Directions

1. Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense waffles.
5. Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a small amount of melted butter.
6. Pour a generous scoop of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly across the surface.
7. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
8. Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and keep warm in a preheated oven while you cook the remaining batter.
9. Serve the sweet potato waffles with maple syrup and, if desired, top with pecans and cranberries for added flavor.
