Description

Start your day with these irresistibly fluffy sweet potato pancakes, combining the warmth of spices and a soft texture that will make every breakfast special.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare Your Sweet Potatoes: Cook sweet potatoes until fork-tender by boiling or roasting for deeper flavor. Mash until smooth.
  2. 2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. 3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, milk, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth.
  4. 4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined to maintain fluffiness.
  5. 5. Cook Your Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil. Pour about a quarter cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for another minute until golden brown.
  6. 6. Serve & Enjoy: Serve pancakes immediately topped with maple syrup or your favorite toppings like fresh fruit or yogurt.
