Sugar - coconut sugar can be used in place of the brown sugar.Flour - an equal mixture (1 ⅓ cup each) of regular whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour can substitute for the pastry flour.So, I decided to rely mainly on baking powder and the result was more structured, yet still light waffles. Though the egg whites initially added loft to the batter, they seemed to collapse during cooking. I started by doing this by using a mixture of whipped egg whites and baking powder. There are a few ways to create each component and so I wanted to make sure I honed in on the best ratios of each to create the most satisfying and crave-worthy waffles.įirst, I set out to get the most fluffy waffles. Getting the perfect mix of crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside is a challenge. It turns out fluffy whole wheat waffles are a bit of a beast to conquer. I think I've finally landed on my favorite! Nothing satisfied my morning need for carbs like the light, pillowy, and golden breakfast food.Įver since I've been working on developing my favorite whole wheat Belgian waffle recipe. I rediscovered my love of waffles when tapering for my first marathon. How do you make your own buttermilk (also known as 'sour milk')?.A belgian waffle maker will not work as well here, as the cavities are too deep and the sweet potato will get stuck.I may or may not have had to test this process a couple of times, so trust me when I say this! Don’t press down on the waffle iron so hard that your pieces end up getting stuck. You will be packing the sweet potato hash into the waffle iron pretty thick.Grease the waffle iron really well so you don’t have pieces stuck when removing the waffle.This meal definitely keeps me full!

It’s so satisfying thanks to the good carbs, protein, plus the healthy fats from the egg and avocado. This meal would make a great “brinner” (breakfast for dinner) or a fun weekend breakfast/brunch. While that is cooking, you can sauté your kale, fry your egg and slice up a little bit of avocado. You then just pack all of the grated sweet potato in your waffle iron and cook until browned. We’re not going full-on waffle style but making more of a waffle hash brown style, ya feel? It’s actually just grated (uncooked) sweet potato, a whisked egg, and some oil. To make the sweet potato waffle, it’s not technically a normal waffle with all of the ingredients that would be considered SWYPO.

I just needed to add some creativity to this go-to meal I eat all the time as to not get bored with it so I don’t end up crave something less “healthy” or more sugar or what have you.Īlright, we’ve come full circle! Let’s chat about this recipe! Paleo Sweet Potato Waffle Breakfast Sandwich What you need But for me, this is basically the same thing as having sautéed sweet potatoes and kale in a pan with my egg and avocado. Maybe for someone else it will take them back to when they’d stop for McGriddles, causing some bad feelings around food. But without going into too much more detail on my Whole30 thoughts (that’s for another time) I feel like this waffle sandwich is alright… Or at least on my Whole30 journey it is alright. Or am I over-thinking it? (Probably, I am a chronic over-thinker…) Like I explained in my post “Why I am Doing a Whole30”, I have jumped on this journey for a challenge, and mainly to see if eating whole foods with no added sugar (and other junk) can help some inflammation in my system, possibly balance my hormones, help my skin, etc. Basically on Day 4 when I was like “What the heck am I doing? This is ludicrous…” Like homemade Whole30 chicken nuggets for example… Or eating dates with nut butter to get your “fix”– yeah I have definitely done that. I mean I feel like there are some gray areas in that clause, you know? Because to me, it seems as though there are many other dishes/meals that could fall under that category. I am not entirely sure if I am “breaking the rules” with this one while doing the Whole30– also known as SWYPO (sex with your pants on)… hmmm. I was feeling really good about it, until I started thinking that maybe I was committing a Whole30 crime… This waffle breakfast sandwich is just so good.
