Sweet Potato Waffles with Creamy Mushrooms

Overview

Difficulty – Easy

Time – 15 minutes, 10 minutes cooking time

Serves – 4


What’s good about it?

Sweet potatoes contain fibre and antioxidants that promote the growth of good gut bacteria and contribute to a healthy gut. Using coconut yogurt for the sauce provides plenty of beneficial bacteria to support gut health.

 

  1. First cook the mushrooms. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the garlic, onion and mushrooms. Sauté over a low heat for 5 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown and soften. Stir in the mustard, nutritional yeast flakes and soy sauce. Season to taste. Stir in the coconut yogurt and heat through.
  2. Preheat waffle iron. Place all of the ingredients into a food processor, blending until smooth and fully combined. Add a little more soy milk if needed to create a thick pourable batter.
  3. Spoon batter into your preheated waffle iron and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions.
  4. Serve the waffles topped with the creamy mushrooms

Did You Know?

Nutritional Yeast flakes are a great way to increase the nutritional content of your food – choose one enriched with B12 especially if you are vegan. TIP – if you are making this vegan then use 30g unflavoured protein powder to replace 30g flour to increase the protein content
