Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potato Noodle Waffles

If you’ve never tried a spiralized sweet potato waffle before, you need to add this Pumpkin Spice Sweet Potato Noodle Waffle to your list of must-makes. With just two simple ingredients (sweet potato and egg), you can make a waffle that’s gluten-free, Paleo-friendly, keto-friendly, and a tasty, clean eating friendly way to enjoy waffles.

Spiralized sweet potatoes are subtly sweet, which makes them the perfect noodle to make into a waffle. With a drizzle of maple syrup, you won’t believe how delicious these are. They’re kid friendly too, my son loves them!

You can make these waffles with just a pinch of cinnamon, you can add some fresh berries (like blueberries) or even some chocolate (try these chocolate waffles!)

I recommend using a Belgian waffle iron, because the deeper the grooves, the easier it is to really pack in the noodles and make sure they bind well together. I also recommend letting the waffle sit in the iron for a little longer than you would with a regular flour waffle, until it browns a bit.

Make these waffles this holiday season with friends or family and they will be a hit!

  • Your weekend sounds awesome!! I didn't go to NYCWFF this year, though I have gone in the past. That session you went to sounds pretty interesting. Also what is this Mood Fabrics place of which you speak?! I feel like i need to go there. The.Boy left me alone for the weekend also and I definitely had some severe moments of loneliness. I could have used these waffles for sure!

  • These are amazing!! So very cool--I now officially need a waffle maker. And your weekend sounds like it was wonderful! I would have loved to go to that Food Network event :)

    • Laura - thank you so much! Well, you can make the same version as a pancake, so don't rush out to get a waffle iron just yet!
      Reply
      • Hi, to make them as pancakes, just form them and saute? Thanks!
        Reply
        • Yes! Form and press down in a saute pan!

  • Conveniently, I have three sweet potatoes left after making your ham and cheese 'sandwich' last night - DELICIOUS! Wish I bought more ham to make another. Also made the butternut squash soup with swiss chard. I am thrilled with my spiralizer!

    • Jackie - I'm so happy you loved the ham and cheese 'sandwich'! Let me know how the soup goes. So happy you like your spiralizer!

  • Just a quickie, how did the pumpkin get to be noodles? I missed that step, and what is in pumpkin spice...don't have that here in Australia...
    Reply
    • I mean sweet potato, how did the sweet potato turn into noodles...not pumpkin... :)

      • No worries! You have to spiralize the potato first. A guide on this is available here: http://www.inspiralized.com/2013/08/20/fried-egg-and-sweet-potato-noodles-with-bacon-vegetable-hash/ I hope this helps!

  • Delicious! This was my first attempt at spiralizing. I was apparently in such a hurry, I didn't read your recipe correctly and stuck all my egg & spiced sweet potato in my waffle iron raw (skipped the saute part) and it was still delicious! I had to press down a bit to push the mixture into place and *maybe* I over cooked it a bit... ;-) but I'll still totally make it again! Thank you!

    • Glad to hear you had a good experience without cooking the noodles first! Next time try cooking the noodles - it's just a fun way to eat healthy!

  • 1 - I just discovered your site and am in love 2 - Any way to replace the egg in this recipe? Do you think an egg replacement would work as a binder? 3 - You are are genius.

    • 1 - Welcome! 2- Yes, you can try any egg replacer! 3 - Aw, shucks! Thank you, you're very kind!

  • I love these- have you ever had any luck with making a bunch and freezing for later?

  • This looks great! I might veganize this recipe by using mashed banana instead of egg. I'll have to try this sometime soon (but first, I must get my spiralizer).
    Reply
    • That sounds delicious! You could also try a flax egg, but I think banana would be great for flavor.

  • Love the recipe but they didn't get crispy - should they have?

  • This sounds soooo yummy. What is the calories per serving?
    Reply
    • In the cookbook, it says 1 waffle + 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup is 150 calories.

  • My go-to belgian waffle iron yeilded waffles which didn't hold their shape--although they were still yummy, they more resembled hash browns. However, this recipe is so good, I can justify having a second, skinny waffle iron which has improved the yeild considerably. Also, a spritz of cooking spray on the top of the noodles before you close the lid, will make the end product much crisper. I didnot have any luck adding the blueberries as per the cookbook, but it was fun trying.

  • I just tried this with my Inspiralizer (which I LOVE btw) and it was so good and so easy! I had big plans to have some fruit and nut toppings on the waffle but it was so good I ate it before I realized I forgot to add the toppings! Next time haha!

  • Hi! Is there another way to pre-cook the sweet potatoes or is sauteing it in the frying pan the easiest way? It looks so adorable- can't wait to try it!

  • I want to try these savoury! Thank you for the idea. I'll throw in some parmesan and salt and pepper. Yum!!
