Thanksgiving Leftover Sweet Potato Waffles Recipe by Tasty

Step 1

Make the waffles: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, olive oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and sweet potato until smooth.

Step 3

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined, making sure not to overmix the batter.

Step 4

Heat a waffle iron and grease with oil.

Step 5

Scoop enough batter to fill your waffle iron into the center. Close the iron and cook for 5-6 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown and cooked all the way through. Remove the waffle and repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 6

Make the cranberry syrup: Add the cranberry sauce and orange juice to a blender and blend until smooth. The syrup should be thin enough to drizzle, but not liquidy. Add more orange juice as needed to reach the right consistency. Set aside.

Step 7

Make the pecan topping: In a small saucepan, combine the apple, pecans, maple syrup, and water. Cook over medium-high heat until the syrup starts to glaze the pecans and the apples soften, about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Serve the waffles warm with the pecan topping, cranberry syrup, and a few pieces of goat cheese, if desired.

Step 9

Enjoy!
