Use up leftover sweet potatoes in this delicious breakfast recipe. Mashed sweet potatoes are mixed with buttermilk, egg, pancake mix, sugar, and cinnamon and cooked in a waffle maker.

1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
1 1/4 cup lowfat buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cups lowfat pancake and baking mix
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
confectioner's sugar (optional)
Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions.
In a medium bowl combine sweet potatoes, buttermilk, egg and oil. In a separate bowl, whisk baking mix, sugar and cinnamon. Stir sweet potato mixture into dry ingredients. The batter will be fairly thick.
Coat waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Spoon 1/2 to 3/4 cup batter into waffle iron; close and cook until crisp.
Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar, if desired.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.

I used to buy a gourmet sweet potato waffle mix from a little shop here but they went out of business and now I can't get anything as good. I used canned sweet potatoes in this because I didn't have the time to cook and mash fresh ones, but I imagine that could only make these delicious waffles even better. I didn't use lowfat pancake mix though, just regular.

Wonderful Flavor! Very filling. I always have too many sweet potatoes and buttermilk leftovers after Thanksgiving, this recipe was perfect for that issue. They freeze and reheat well for a homemade breakfast during a busy work week. Just zap them in the microwave before placing in a toaster due to heaviness and thickness.
