Brinner!! Or breakfast for dinner

Originally tonight I was going to make chicken zucchini fettuccine (that will come sometime next week) but after I got home from work, poor Jaedyn wasn't feeling all that great (getting her secind tooth in today = runny/stuffy nose) so it postponed my Costco trip until after her afternoon feeding & nap. Anyway needless to say, I didn't get home until 4:30 and had no time to make that.... So I decided to go with something quick & easy - sweet potato waffles! Just the other day we both mentioned that we were craving these and so it seemed to be the perfect thing to make. We both loved them the first time & they were just as good the second go around. 😀 . 

These are easy to make if you have a food processor as it takes only seconds to shred your sweet potatoes. Be patient with your waffle maker. You want to set it on a lower setting as it takes longer to cook because its not your typical waffle batter. We topped with a little applesauce & maple syrup and had a side of 2 eggs & 2 bacon, along with a coffee frap. Enjoy! Happy Friday! 

SWEET POTATO WAFFLES

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs peeled sweet potatoes, grated (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
• 3 whole, large eggs
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted or in liquid state (melted, organic butter or ghee will work too)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Unsweetened apple sauce for topping

Directions:

1. Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Be sure to mix well so everything is well combined or it won’t cook properly on the waffle maker.
2. Cook in batches on your waffle maker the same as you would with regular waffle. But keep the waffles on the thinner side or they don’t cook well.
3. Remove from waffle maker, top with unsweetened apple sauce and serve.

Not a pretty picture, i know, but you get the idea. I totally spaced taking a picture  (this is a new thing for me) and luckily remembered on the last waffle. There wasnt enough batter to make a pretty one. Sorry :)
