Endurance activities require the right kind of fuel, and these waffles hit high marks for providing just that. Made with oats and sweet potatoes, they’re a particularly great breakfast choice ahead of an intense workout. That’s because sweet potatoes and oats are slow-burning carbohydrates that provide your body with the lasting energy you need for longer adventures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sweet potato also adds body to the waffle as well as natural vitamin C, potassium, calcium and antioxidants. Buttermilk provides fermentation benefits, and the oat flour is gluten-free and fiber-rich. The best part is the perfectly sweet and fluffy end result. These taste better than regular waffles\u2014just saying. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have leftovers? Pack them along on your next long bike ride, walk or run. They make for an equally satiating on-the-go snack a couple of hours into an activity.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip: You can use canned or leftover roasted sweet potatoes for this recipe. Dairy or nut milk can be substituted for buttermilk.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>
  • 1\/2 teaspoon ginger powder<\/li>

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Directions:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In a small bowl, stir together the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients until well-incorporated and smooth. Slowly add the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until all are well-blended and come together in a thick batter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Preheat a waffle iron. Using a pastry brush, coat the waffle iron with melted butter and pour in enough batter to fill the bottom of the waffle iron. Close the waffle iron and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side. The waffles should be golden brown and cooked through. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To serve, drizzle with maple syrup and butter, if desired. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
