Description

Fluffy Sweet Potato Pancakes are a deliciously light and nutritious breakfast treat, perfect for any occasion. Their natural sweetness and vibrant color make them a delightful addition to your morning routine.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 3/4 cup milk (or almond milk)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Peel and cube two medium sweet potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender (15-20 minutes), then drain and mash until smooth.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes until smooth.
  4. Bring It All Together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and grease lightly. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake and cook until bubbles form (about 3 minutes). Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Stack pancakes on plates and top with your favorite options such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt.
