Waffles waffles waffles!! What other words are there? I can’t think of any. My mind goes blank when I try to think of anything else.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I tried this recipe, but I think I’m in love with this combination! I’d love to make this every single morning!
These waffles are so amazing! I think there will be many more sweet potato baked goods recipes in the future because this is just unbelievably delicious.
So, I have a confession to make. Before I tried these waffles, I thought I didn’t like sweet potato in sweet things. I thought it was weird to mix a typically savory food with a sweet one. But, boy was I wrong!
There seriously is nothing better than sweet potato with melted dark chocolate, pecans and coconut whipped cream! It’s such a magical combination.
Look at how GOLDEN they are! SO GOLDEN and fluffy! I’m literally in heaven just thinking about it.
These waffles are:
Super fluffy
Wonderfully filling & really hits the spot
Perfectly sweet
Unbelievably lip smacking
Amazingly high protein
That’s enough talk… I’m hungry.
