Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and clove. Whisk well until evenly mixed.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, skim milk, pureed cooked sweet potato, oil, and grated orange rind until smooth.
3
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
4
In a clean bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
5
Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the batter using a rubber spatula until just blended; maintain fluffiness.
6
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it with a bit of oil or cooking spray.
7
Ladle the batter onto the heated waffle iron, using about 1/3 cup per waffle (adjust based on your waffle iron's size). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and the steaming stops, approximately 5 minutes.
8
Carefully remove the waffles and repeat with remaining batter until all waffles are cooked.
9
Enjoy immediately with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings. Alternatively, let them cool completely before freezing for later. Simply microwave for about 30 seconds and pop them in the toaster to enjoy!
