I've been making this sweet potato wafers recipe over and over since Thanksgiving's sweet potato scraps and I believe it's about time that I went along this yummy child agreeable wafers recipe. When you make these simple, sound esque sweet potato saltines, you'll be stunned at what a limited number of fixings are in a container of locally acquired wafers. You're genuinely paying for bundling.
You can sprinkle with salt, sesame seeds and a little cayenne, whenever wanted. I skip it for the child saltines. After reader feedback and re-testing, I lowered the baking powder amount. The original North Carolina recipe uses way too much!

Simple sweet potato wafers recipe - kids love these wafers! Make this sweet potato recipe for a solid after school nibble.
INGREDIENTS
- 1-1/2 cups organic flour
- 2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder (see note below)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons organic unsalted butter (or solid coconut oil)
- 1 cup of sweet potato puree (about 1 large sweet potato, see directions below)
- 1 teaspoon organic sugar
- coarse salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook sweet potato until softened. The original recipe suggests boiling it in water but I prefer to roast it in a 400 degree oven for about 45-50 minutes.
- So anyway, however you cook your sweet potato then let it cool, remove the skin and purée using a hand blender (these are the best for making purees) until it’s a smooth mixture. You may need to add water by the tablespoon to make a smooth puree – add it one tablespoon at a time and add more as needed. You will need 1 cup of sweet potato purée.
- Set the cooled sweet potato puree aside.
- Place butter or solid (not melted) coconut oil into the bottom of your KitchenAid Mixer. Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together into a large bowl. Using the KitchenAid Mixer’s regular mixing attachment.
- Switch your KitchenAid Mixer’s regular mixing attachment to the dough hook attachment instead. Add the sweet potato puree and let it stir until it turns into one big clump.
- Roll it into a ball using your hands. Divide dough into 4 pieces. For easier rolling, wrap it in wax paper and chill for 1/2 hour.
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and and roll each very thin. Seriously, as thin as you can roll it. If you can use rolling pin rings you’ll be in better shape than I was – you’ve got to make sure it’s all even so the crackers all bake evenly.
- Cut using small cookie cutters. Here I’m using heart cookie cutters but I’ve also used these great mini-cookie cutters. Place on a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- You can sprinkle with salt, sesame seeds and a little cayenne, if desired. I skip it for the kid crackers.
- Bake in a preheated 350 F oven on an ungreased parchment paper-lined jelly roll pan or cookie sheet for 10 minutes until bottoms are slightly browned.
- Turn over and bake until they’re crispy.
- Cool on a wire rack before storing in a airtight container.
