Flourless Vegan Sweet Potato Oats Waffles. All that I can say is YUM.
If you’ve been an avid reader of Orchids + Sweet Tea, then you’ve probably already tried our Flourless Vegan Banana Oats Waffles which have been such a hit on the blog.
I couldn’t be happier to share this recipe. In all honesty, this recipe is the beginning of something new for Orchids + Sweet Tea.
How so? Whelp, for one—this recipe will be the last one that I post before my NEW site becomes live. Yay—I’m super exicted!
Plus, I’m making it more of a personal mission to dabble into a lot more GF (Gluten-Free) recipes as well as recipes that use different methods and interesting ingredients.
So, going forward, you’ll begin to see a lot more variety when it comes to flavors, styles, etc.
But of course, my motto of turning your faves into healthier options doesn’t change at all–and neither does the ‘goodness’ factor when it comes to your taste buds being satisfied. Haha.
You with me? OK, good.

Why Sweet Potato + Oats Waffles?
OK, so I know that you might be asking, why did I chose this combo anyway? To be honest, I LOVED my Banana Oats Waffles (and so did many of my readers), so I wanted to remake it again using another bold flavor.
Personally, sweet potatoes are MY FAVE and I do love oats, so why not put them together? Plus, sweet potatoes are a great binder much like bananas, which is super important for GF waffles when not using flour at all.

WHAT YOU’LL LOVE MOST ABOUT THIS RECIPE?
Super easy to make.
Totally dairy-free, vegan + GF!
Whipped together in under 25 minutes—TOTAL!
Sweetness is adjustable based on tastebud preferences.
Everything made in a BLENDER. Yup. How can it get any easier?
Did I mention that—THIS RECIPE IS AMAZING?!
OK, let’s dig right into this recipe!
Preheat your waffle maker to desired setting––medium-high heat worked for me!
In a measuring cup or small bowl, add the Almond milk and apple cider vinegar, whisking them together and letting it sit for 5 minutes or so.
Now, add the ingredients to your blender, ensuring that all WET INGREDIENTS (including milk-apple cider vinegar mixture) are placed on the BOTTOM and then the DRY INGREDIENTS on TOP. NOTE: Putting the ingredients in this order allows everything to blend well and become nice and smooth.
Blend on high speed using a high-powered blender for a few seconds (15-20 to be exact!) until batter is smooth.
Next, spoon batter into your waffle maker (1/4 cup approximately) and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions.
Once each waffle completes, add to a baking sheet and place them in the oven on the lowest setting (to keep them warm). Repeat until all waffles are made.
To serve–stack waffles (whole or cut), top with berries, pecans, and drizzle with maple syrup.
Bon appetite!

Tips & Tricks
NUT BUTTER OPTIONS: You can use Peanut Butter or Pecan Butter instead of Almond Butter if desired. Any smooth nut butter works as long as it’s Vegan-approved!OATS: Ensure that your oats are certified GF (Gluten-Free). I used Thick Rolled Oats, but you can also use Old Fashion if preferred.MILK: You can use any non-dairy milk for this recipe. I love using Califia Farm’s Oats + Roasted Almonds Milk, however, you can use Soy, regular Almond, Macadamia, Coconut, etc.PECANS: In addition to using toasted pecans for topping, you can also incorporate it into your waffles if preferred. Simply add 1/2 cup toasted pecans in with other dry ingredients and continue remaining steps in recipe. See Recipe for Toasting Pecans.STORAGE: Leftovers can be tightly sealed in a zip loc bag (once fully cooled) and either refrigerated for a few days or frozen.To serve, reheat waffles in the oven on 400 degrees for a few minutes until warmed through.FREEZE WAFFLES: To store waffles for longer periods, simply add them unto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Once fully frozen, remove and store them in a zip loc and freeze for up to 3 months.SWEET POTATOES: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Thoroughly rinse the outside of your potatoes off with warm water and then pat dry. Lightly poke each potato with a few small holes (to ensure that the inside cooks more quickly + evenly) and coat them fully with extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oil. Bake on a foil paper lined baking sheet for 25-30 minutes, until tender when pressed gently.
Love these waffles! They are so filling and this recipe makes so many waffles, I’ll be set for the whole week!
If I am doing 1/4 c of batter per waffle in my waffle maker (4 waffles per maker) what would be the serving size? How many waffles does this typically make?
Hi Kristin! I’m so glad that you love these as much as I do! They really are my go-to! Usually, I would scoop 1/4 cup to about 1/3 cup into my waffle maker and my waffle maker makes about 6 or so. I think it depends on the waffle size (whether round or square). I hope that this helps! 🙂
These were delicious and tasted like fall!! The recipe was easy to make, and these waffles I will definitely make again throughout the fall season. The batter made a lot of waffles, so I have many waffles to enjoy over the coming weeks. 🙂
Hi Nicole! I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed these waffles as much as I did and that you felt the warmth of Fall flavors! Enjoy the rest of those waffles! 🙂
