Sweet Potato Waffles

For breakfast this morning, I decided to make waffles using the leftover sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving dinner. There was about 1/2 cup, and I stirred it into a half-batch of my favorite waffle recipes. For added flavor, I also stirred in a 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. If you don’t have leftover sweet potatoes, pumpkin purée would be a terrific substitute. Enjoy!

2. Cook in a lightly greased waffle-maker until crisp and golden brown. Serve hot with warm maple syrup.
