Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe

American · Breakfast · 25 min total

These fluffy, naturally sweet pancakes are a nutritious twist on a classic breakfast, made with mashed sweet potatoes and warm spices.

Ingredients

• 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato (about 1 medium sweet potato)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2. In another bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; batter should be slightly lumpy.
4. Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
5. For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.
7. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings.

Tips

• To cook sweet potato: peel, cube, boil until tender, then mash.
• Keep pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while cooking remaining batches.
• Leftover pancakes can be frozen and reheated in a toaster.
