Ingredients
  

Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup Sweet potato puree
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp Baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • 1 Large egg
  • 0.75 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp Melted butter
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar optional
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Griddle or non-stick pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

Making the Pancakes
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients: sweet potato puree, egg, milk, melted butter, brown sugar (if using), and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, avoiding overmixing; lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or non-stick pan over medium heat, then pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter. Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of Greek yogurt.
