Introduction
These Sweet Potato Paleo Waffles are a delicious and nourishing breakfast option that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the crispiness of traditional waffles. Perfect for those following a paleo diet or anyone looking for a gluten-free, flavorful start to their morning.
Ingredients
- 4 cups sweet potato (grated)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, whisk together the grated sweet potato, eggs, and sea salt if using.
- Step 2: Heat your waffle iron, then drizzle it with olive oil to prevent sticking. Pour the batter onto the iron and cook the waffles until they are golden and crispy, about 5 minutes or longer depending on your waffle iron. Serve immediately with your favorite savory or sweet toppings.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter before cooking.
- You can substitute olive oil with coconut oil for a slightly different taste and paleo-friendly fat source.
- If the batter seems too wet, squeeze out some excess moisture from the grated sweet potato using a clean kitchen towel.
Storage
Store leftover waffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast them in a toaster or warm them in an oven at 350°F (175°C) until crisp. They also freeze well—freeze in a single layer and reheat from frozen.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to prepare the batter fresh to prevent the sweet potatoes from oxidizing and turning brown. However, you can grate the sweet potatoes a few hours ahead and store them in water to keep fresh.
What toppings go well with sweet potato waffles?
Sweet potato waffles pair well with a variety of toppings, including maple syrup, fresh berries, avocado, poached eggs, or a dollop of coconut yogurt for a savory or sweet twist.

Ingredients
Sweet Potato Waffles
- 4 cups sweet potato, grated
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (optional)
- Olive oil, for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the grated sweet potato, eggs, and sea salt if using, until fully combined. This mixture forms the base for your paleo waffles.
- Heat the waffle iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once hot, lightly drizzle olive oil on the surfaces to prevent the waffles from sticking during cooking.

- Serve: Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately with your choice of favorite toppings, whether savory like avocado and eggs or sweet like maple syrup and berries.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of salt or omit it entirely depending on your taste preference.

- If your waffle iron sticks, add a little more olive oil before cooking each batch.
- These waffles can be kept warm in a low oven while you finish cooking the rest.
