Make These Paleo Sweet Potato Waffles From Naturally Sassy’s Sassy Gregson-Williams

Hosting a brunch get-together and need a recipe your friends will be talking about for the next week? Make these sweet potato waffles with guacamole and poached eggs from Sassy Gregson-Williams, creator of Naturally Sassy and Ballet Blast by Sassy.

Not only are these waffles savory and delicious, but they also are a great source of fiber, protein and fat—all of which help balance blood sugar levels and help decrease snacking throughout the day. Plus, these waffles are Paleo, which means no matter who you invite to brunch, you’ll be able to please almost any palate.

(Or make these if you’re craving breakfast for dinner and need something quick, filling and satisfying!)

Sweet Potato Waffles

Serves: 2

Instructions
