Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan version)
  • 3/4 cup milk or dairy alternative (almond, oat, etc.)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Boil or bake sweet potatoes until tender. Scoop out the flesh and mash smoothly, ensuring no lumps remain to maintain pancake texture.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in milk, vanilla extract, and the mashed sweet potatoes to form a creamy mixture.
  4. Incorporate Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until no flour streaks remain; avoid overmixing to keep pancakes light.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour batter in small circles and cook until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side until golden brown.
  6. Serve Warm: Serve pancakes immediately at their fluffiest or keep warm in a low oven while finishing the batch.

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix the batter to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
  • Use fresh baking powder for best rise and fluffiness.
  • Mash sweet potatoes thoroughly for smooth batter consistency.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to achieve golden color without burning.
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to allow ingredients to meld and rise better.
