Easy Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe

These fluffy sweet potato pancakes are a delicious twist on the classic breakfast favorite. Packed with flavor and nutrients, they’re perfect for a cozy morning or a weekend brunch. Here’s a simple recipe to make them at home!

Ingredients:

- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 1 medium sweet potato)

- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour for a healthier option)

- 1 tablespoon baking powder

- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

- 1/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

- 1 large egg

- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (plus extra for serving)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

- Peel and chop the sweet potato into chunks, then boil or steam until tender. Mash until smooth and set aside to cool.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients:

- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients:

- In another bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato, milk, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4. Combine Mixtures:

- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

5. Cook the Pancakes:

- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

6. Serve:

- Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings.

Tips:

- For added texture, consider mixing in some chopped nuts or chocolate chips.

- These pancakes can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer. Reheat in a toaster or microwave before serving.

Enjoy your delicious and nutritious sweet potato pancakes! Perfect for any breakfast or brunch occasion.
