Step 1

Start by heating up your waffle iron according to the instructions it came with. In a bowl, mix together the sweet potato, milk, egg, and melted butter until everything is combined. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined—don’t overmix. Scoop the batter onto your preheated waffle iron and cook until the waffles turn golden brown and crispy, usually about 3 minutes. While the waffles cook, combine the maple syrup, cranberry sauce, and a little cinnamon in a small saucepan. Warm it over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is heated through and blended nicely, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drizzle the warm syrup over your waffles and enjoy!

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use cooked and mashed sweet potatoes for the best texture in the batter.
- Preheat your waffle iron properly to ensure crispy edges and even cooking.
- If you prefer a fluffier waffle, gently fold in some beaten egg whites before cooking.

Why you’ll love it

These waffles bring together the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes and the tangy brightness of cranberries, all enhanced by a rich maple syrup drizzle. They offer a perfect balance of flavors and textures that make breakfast feel special and comforting.

Serving ideas

Serve warm with extra maple syrup on the side and a dollop of Greek yogurt or whipped cream. Add fresh cranberries or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added crunch and color.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, pop them in a toaster or oven to restore their crispy texture. For longer storage, freeze the waffles individually and reheat as needed.
