Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Fluffy, golden, and deliciously crispy! These spiced sweet potato waffles are the perfect cozy breakfast or brunch. Vegan and grain-free!

Grain-Free Sweet Potato Waffles (vegan)

It’s officially fall. Officially time for all the cozy beige foods. Officially time for pumpkin spice sprinkled on everything and nothing but pumpkin and apple recipes. But can we pause the pumpkin for just a moment to appreciate another marvelous orange ingredient: sweet potato!

These crispy sweet potato waffles are made without eggs or grains, and heavily loaded with warm spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Lightly sweetened with maple syrup and ready to be topped with fruit or syrup or any favorite toppings. And if you must know, yes they do work with pumpkin too.

Sweet Potato Waffle Ingredients

  • Sweet potato, baked and well mashed
  • Coconut oil or use a runny nut/seed butter to make them oil free.
  • Almond milk or non-dairy milk of choice
  • Maple syrup to sweeten, or you can skip it and just add syrup on top
  • Vanilla extract
  • Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (you can just use cinnamon, but personally I find the combo much richer)
  • Baking powder and salt
  • Coconut flour and tapioca flour in equal parts, this combo is the perfect balance for binding but also a fluffy defined crumb

I’ve also made these waffles with Purely Elizabeth’s grain-free pancake mix [affiliate link] and it works beautifully. So if you are looking for a simpler option, I included instructions for that in the recipe notes as well.

Description

Fluffy, golden, and deliciously crispy! These spiced sweet potato waffles are the perfect cozy breakfast or brunch. Vegan and grain-free!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup (70g) sweet potato, baked and mashed
  • 1/3 cup (80g) almond milk
  • 1/4 cup (50g) coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp (20g) maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup (30g) tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup (25g) coconut flour

Instructions

  1. Bake and mash one small sweet potato.
  2. Whisk the sweet potato with almond milk, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla.
  3. Add the flours, baking powder, salt, and spices. Stir to combine.
  4. Cook in a preheated non-stick waffle iron until golden and crispy (makes 6).
  5. Top with fruit, nuts, maple syrup, etc. Enjoy!

Notes

Originally made with Purely Elizabeth grain-free pancake mix, which I love! To use that instead: swap 1 cup mix for the flours, increase almond milk to 1/2 cup and omit the salt, maple syrup, and baking powder.

    Just made this and was hoping for a soft texture. I did love how crispy it was but felt like it was a bit too chewy from the tapioca starch.

      Good to know Kate, sorry you didn’t love the texture. You can play with the ratio a bit, more coconut flour less tapioca!

    Hi Kate, I haven’t made this yet but I understand issues with tapioca starch. I started to think it was the tapioca starch in Australia was different and I really started to dislike it!! When I have had problems in the past I usually half it and use potato starch for the other half. Sometimes I replaced all of it with potato starch. For me the potato starch keeps it soft, some may think it would be crumbly but I prefer that!!

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
