sweet-potato-waffles1fI’m sure by now you know I love me some sweet potatoes. But for Breakfast? Yes, please!

Josh and I recently went to see Sigur Ros, an amazing Icelandic band that he’s loved for years, at the Woods at Fontanel. While the show was absolutely incredible, we had to wait for a decent amount of time before we could cross through the gates and make a beeline for the front near the stage. SO, what better way to pass the time than to scroll through food blogs??

sweet-potato-waffles1aMy scrolling through blogs brought me to this wonderful recipe for Sweet Potato Waffles from Running to the Kitchen. These waffles are grain-free, gluten-free, paleo-friendly, no refined sugars, pretty much everything that justifies making and eating them. Now.

sweet-potato-waffles1b sweet-potato-waffles1cI’ve always preferred waffles to pancakes. There’s a lot to be said for pancakes, they are light, fluffy and best of all, they absorb a lot of syrup! But still, I love the texture of waffles, I love that they have a touch of crispness to them. I’m that odd person who goes for brownie crust or the slightly overdone cookies. That extra crunch mixed with the gooey center is perfect in my book.

sweet-potato-waffles1dThese waffles don’t crisp up quite the same as the traditional waffles, but the flavor is wonderful and the nutritional benefits are far superior to those traditional ones. The fat content is a bit high on these, but it’s due to the healthy fats from the almond flour, coconut flour and coconut oil. Totally worth it!

sweet-potato-waffles1hThese waffles would be the perfect start to a leisurely Saturday morning. I’m guessing most of you owe yourselves a nice, leisurely weekend, so throw these in the mix!
