Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 6 large egg whites
• 2 (15 ounce) cans sweet potatoes, drained
• 3 cups maple syrup
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup packed dark brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine sweet potatoes, milk, butter, brown sugar, and vanilla in a food processor; pulse until well combined and smooth.

Step 2

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in sweet potato mixture.

Step 3

Preheat and grease a waffle maker.

Step 4

Beat egg whites in a stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into the waffle batter, 2 cups at a time, until well incorporated.

Step 5

Scoop 1 cup batter onto the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook until slightly golden and crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat to make remaining waffles.
