Description

Have you ever wondered how to use all of those Thanksgiving leftovers? Use the leftovers from your Healthier Sweet Potato Casserole to make brunch the next morning. This no-fuss recipe incorporates 1.5 cups of the leftovers (streusel included), along with whole wheat flour, eggs, milk of your choice and baking ingredients typically found in your household.

You can even use additional Thanksgiving leftovers with these sweet potato waffles. This recipe makes a great substitute for bread that you can top with leftover turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy… and even our green bean casserole. If you are a big fan of chicken and waffles, make it Thanksgiving leftovers inspired: replace the regular waffles with these sweet potato waffles and top with leftover carved turkey.

If you do not have a waffle maker, these work great as pancakes too!
