You know you’re moving on up in adulthood when a waffle iron is your source of excitement. It’s a big deal.
I avoided buying one for the longest time. I couldn’t justify adding another to my embarrassingly excessive collection of kitchen gadgets, just to satisfy my once every 4 month hankering for waffles. Actually, I still didn’t buy one.
It’s funny how cut-throat your collection of stuff gets when you pack up a car to move across country. Do I reallllly need a 16 forks for two people? Or a red pair of heels in outskirts of California? No. No you don’t. Two things you really can’t skimp on though: Underwear and leggings. The rest you can make do with.
Unaware of what cooking appliances would be available with the Vagabond lifestyle Mr. Rob and I set off for, I convinced my mum (MJ) to gift me her still-in-the-box countertop grill with 12 too many functions. What I was really in it for was grilling tofu, and WAFFLES.
After a resounding YES for turning the famous sweet potato pancakes into waffle form when I asked on Instagram, I couldn’t NOT not make them, ya know? And now with a waffle iron at my disposal, I needed every reason to justify bringing it instead of my Instant Pot. I made the right decision, right? Tell me I made the right decision.
So if you’re in the same waffle boat of questioning I am, make these & drown your second-guessing mind out with a maple syrup river.
Money-Saving Tips for These Two Ingredient Sweet Potato Waffles:
- Buy whole. Sweet Potatoes that is. Avoid the pre-mashed that are loaded with other unwanted ingredients that cost more too.
- Buy in bulk. Opt for the 18 pack of eggs (if you’re an egg eater) which gives you more for your money. Then you can make this frittata or some shakshuka with the leftovers.
