Ingredients
- Sweet potato
- 1 cup, mashed
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Eggs
- 2
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons, melted
- Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon
- All-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups
- Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons
- Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Maple syrup
- to serve
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potato, milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure they are thoroughly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredient mixture. Stir gently until just combined, careful not to overmix as it can make the pancakes tough.
- Preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease if needed.
- Pour 1/4 cup portions of the pancake batter onto the heated griddle. Allow to cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Flip each pancake and continue to cook until golden brown, about another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled generously with maple syrup. Enjoy!
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or clove to the batter.
- If you like your pancakes extra fluffy, separate the egg yolks and whites. Mix the yolks in with the wet ingredients, and beat the whites until stiff peaks form, then fold them into the batter at the end.
