Make waffles so good you’ll want to eat them any time of day. Or every day. This Sweet Potato and Ricotta Waffle recipe has just the right touch of brown sugar and vanilla. But the real hero here? We’d say it’s the ricotta cheese. Ricotta’s slightly sweet flavor never overpowers the winning team of sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie spice.
Or maybe you’re the valiant one when you make these for someone else, because this recipe is an excellent source of vitamin B12 and folate, and a good source protein, vitamin A, calcium, iron and choline.
