ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup finely chopped toasted pecans, divided
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 (15 ounce) can sweet potatoes or (15 ounce) can cut yams in syrup, not drained
- 1⁄2 cup 2% low-fat milk
- 2 cups buttermilk waffle mix
- 2 large eggs, separated
- 2 (15 ounce) cans sliced peaches in light syrup or (15 ounce) cans sliced peaches in juice, not drained
- 1 tablespoon honey
- non-stick cooking spray
directions
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons chopped pecans and brown sugar. Stir until sugar melts and coats the nuts; be careful that they do not burn; set aside.
- Purée sweet potatoes (with their syrup) and milk in a blender until smooth; set aside.
- Preheat a non-stick waffle iron. Mix waffle mix, sweet-potato mixture and egg yolks in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in the remaining, uncooked pecans; set aside.
- Beat egg whites in a clean bowl with a whisk until they hold a firm shape, and fold into the waffle batter; set aside for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, strain juice from peaches into a large skillet. Stir in honey and boil over high heat until lightly thickened, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in peaches and reserved sugar-glazed pecans; keep warm.
- Lightly coat the interior of the preheated waffle iron with spray oil. Pour about 1/3 of batter onto the hot waffle iron and cook until puffed, brown and crisp, according to manufacturer’s directions. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve immediately with peach topping.
