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.
