What really takes this recipe to the next level is the built-in bacon flavor. Crumbled bacon is folded into the batter for a smoky crunch in each bite. When topped with maple syrup, it instantly becomes a sweet and savory fusion of all your favorite breakfast foods.

To get started, combine sweet potato, eggs, ghee, and coconut milk in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together cassava flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and sea salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and gently stir in the bacon bits.

Next, heat a waffle maker to medium heat and grease lightly with ghee. Pour a ⅔ cup of batter onto the center of the waffle maker and close the lid. Cook for six minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter and keep the cooked waffles warm by setting on a baking sheet inside the oven at 200°F. When all the waffles are complete, serve with syrup, added berries, or dark chocolate chips!
