Cover with a kitchen towel and let rest for 5 minutes. Peel the sweet potatoes, discarding skins; place the flesh in a medium bowl and mash with a fork (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Let cool for 5 minutes. Process oats in a blender until finely ground, about 30 seconds. Add baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and salt; process until combined, about 10 seconds. Add the sweet potatoes, eggs, buttermilk, oil, orange zest and vanilla; process until combined, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed (the batter will be thick but pourable). Preheat a waffle iron to high; coat with cooking spray. Spoon on about 3/4 cup batter; cook until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Repeat the process with cooking spray and the remaining batter. Serve with maple syrup and pecans, if desired.

Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
