Ube Mochi Waffles ( Purple Sweet Potato Mochi Waffles)

Step 1

Preheat waffle iron. Spray with cooking spray or brush with coconut oil

Step 2

In a small bowl whisk together the flours, cornstarch, baking powder and salt. In a separate larger bowl whisk together the sugar, coconut oil, mashed sweet potato, egg yolks, optional flavoring/coloring.

Step 3

Add in the flour mixture to the sweet potato mixture and mix until starting to come together then add in the milk and mix until well combined. This mixture will be pretty thick but smooth.

Step 4

Whip the egg whites until medium-stiff peaks, then fold into the waffle batter until no white streaks remain

Step 5

Pour a heaping half a cup of batter into the waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the steaming has started to slow down and the waffles start to turn golden but are still mostly purple.

Step 6

Keep waffles warm in a low temp oven directly on the rack or on the counter on a wire cooling rack until all are cooked.  Serve with fresh fruit and syrup of choice.
