1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Poke the sweet potato with a fork a few times and bake until soft in the center, about 40 minutes.
-
2
Let cool, then scoop out the flesh and puree in a food processor until smooth.
-
3
Turn the oven down to 200 degrees F (to keep cooked waffles warm).
-
4
Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high if there are settings (but it's ok if there aren't any).
-
5
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl.
-
6
Whisk together the buttermilk, 1/2 cup of the sweet potato puree, the oil, brown sugar, egg and egg white.
-
7
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and gently stir until just incorporated (it's ok if there are lumps).
-
8
Lightly brush the top and bottom of the waffle iron with oil, then fill each section about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be some waffle iron showing).
-
9
Close and cook until the waffles are golden brown and slightly crisp, 6 to 10 minutes.
-
10
Keep the waffles warm in the oven or covered with foil on a plate while you repeat with the remaining batter.
-
11
Switch the oven to broil, and drizzle each waffle with a little syrup and 1/4 cup mini marshmallows.
-
12
Broil until golden, 15 to 30 seconds.
