Sweet potato waffles
Add these sweet potato waffles to your fall meal rotation for a speedy and versatile breakfast. This recipe comes from Rachel Ama and is a simple mixture of sweet potato, flour, plant milk, and some seasonings. Granted, you need a waffle maker to make the dish, but you can freestyle this dish once you’ve made the waffles. For something savory, you can top the waffles with grilled tomato, avo, hummus, and spinach. Or, for a sweet option, use maple syrup, fruit, and vegan yogurt, for example.
