Ingredients
Waffle Batter
1.5 cups almond flour
1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1/4 cup vanilla almond milk (I used the light version by silk)
1 tablespoon raw honey (melt slightly to help mix in)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1.5 cups shredded sweet potato (wrap in tea towel and squeeze out any excess moisture)
Agave Siracha Sauce
2 tablespoons siracha
4 teaspoons agave nectar
Instructions
Preheat waffle iron to medium/high.
Begin by mixing the dry ingredients: almond flour, arrowroot powder, baking soda, salt, unsweetened coconut, and cinnamon. Set aside.
Now mix the wet ingredients: Eggs, almond milk, raw honey, and vanilla extract. Once whisked together add your dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until all ingredients have been combined. Now fold in the sweet potato.
Spray your waffle iron with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Add your batter to the iron spreading it evenly and let your waffle iron do the rest.
Repeat until all batter has been used.
Now mix the agave and siracha together to make the sauce and drizzle a spoonful over the top of your waffle.
Key Points About Ingredients:
- Almond flour is naturally gluten-free and rich in healthy monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, making it a nutritious alternative to traditional all-purpose flour.
- Shredded sweet potato adds natural sweetness, moisture, and a boost of beta-carotene (vitamin A) without any added sugar.
- Arrowroot powder acts as a light binder and thickener, helping give these grain-free waffles a crispy exterior and cohesive structure.
- Unsweetened shredded coconut adds healthy medium-chain triglycerides and a subtle tropical flavor that complements the cinnamon beautifully.
- Sriracha contains capsaicin, which may support metabolism and adds bold heat that perfectly balances the sweetness of the agave nectar.
Key Nutritional Insights:
- This waffle is rich in healthy fats from almond flour and coconut, providing sustained energy without a blood sugar spike.
- Sweet potato is one of the best dietary sources of vitamin A (beta-carotene), supporting eye health and immune function.
- Using almond milk instead of dairy keeps this recipe lower in saturated fat while still providing a creamy batter consistency.
- The eggs contribute high-quality complete protein and choline, which supports brain health and cognitive function.
- Raw honey and agave nectar are less processed sweeteners, though they still contribute added sugars and should be enjoyed in moderation.
