Very yummy! I used pumpkin in place of sweet potatoes and replaced the cardamon with Cinnamon and Nutmeg. Will defiantly try with sweet potatoes next time!

Yum!! My family loves them! I often use canned pumpkin instead of sweet potatoes.

These were very plain tasting. They didn't taste bad, but didn't have much taste at all. I will try a different recipe.

The batter was very thick. A little complicated for a waffle recipe. I think this recipe would taste even better with dried cranberries instead of pecans.

These waffles were so fabulous!! I made them for dinner one night and my husband couldn't get enough! I made them with canned pumpkin because I didn't have any sweet potatoes.
