You guys know I can’t leave a waffle or pancake recipe alone, right?

I try! I really try to just follow the recipe, but inevitably, my head gets some wild idea and I have to change it up at the last second.

This morning I was bound and determined to just make plain waffles. So I googled a really simple recipe and got to work.

But as I started mixing things together my head got to thinking…

what if I add less milk and something else?

what if I took out one egg?

what if I took out the oil? 

what if I used that sweet potato that’s in the fridge?

And that’s how another waffle recipe was born. Sans oil and plus sweet potato.
