Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup mashed cooked sweet potato
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup flour all-purpose or oat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Optional Add-Ins
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup or honey
  • ¼ cup blueberries or chopped nuts

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Nonstick pan or griddle
  • Measuring cups
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Whisk mashed sweet potato, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until combined.
  3. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients just until mixed, allowing the batter to rest for 5 minutes to thicken.
  4. Heat a lightly greased nonstick pan over medium-low and pour small rounds of batter onto the surface.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set, then flip and cook until golden and fluffy.
  6. Serve warm with fruit, yogurt, or a drizzle of natural syrup for a wholesome breakfast.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add a scoop of vanilla protein powder and increase milk as needed.
  • Use oat flour for a gluten-friendly version that stays soft and fluffy.
  • Make ahead by freezing cooked pancakes and reheating in a toaster or skillet.
  • Pair with refreshing sides like Shirazi Persian Salad for a balanced morning meal.

  • Sweet potatoes must be fully cooled before mixing to prevent over-thinning the batter.
