[Foodie Friday Recipe] Paleo Sweet Potato Waffles

Enjoy this comforting fall breakfast with a twist – Paleo sweet potato waffles! Here’s how to make them…
Mmm…waffles… One of my favorite comfort foods is a plate of hot waffles with homemade butter and a drizzle of real maple syrup… Or fresh, sliced strawberries and a dollop of whipped cream… Or…these amazing Paleo sweet potato waffles!
Enjoy these gluten-free waffles either savory (as listed below), or sweet – with jam or maple syrup. They are super easy, delicious, and healthy. The sweet potato adds tons of fiber, lovely color, great flavor, and a hint of sweetness. These are perfect for a hearty fall breakfast topped with an egg for some healthy protein and fat!
(Note: If you don’t have a waffle maker, you can use the same recipe but cook them as pancakes on a griddle or in a cast iron skillet.)
