Fluffy Sweet Potato Pancakes

Ingredients

All-purpose flour

1 cup

Baking powder

2 teaspoons

Ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon

Ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon

Salt

1/2 teaspoon

Mashed sweet potatoes

1 cup (cooked and cooled)

Milk

3/4 cup

Egg

1, beaten

Vanilla extract

1 teaspoon

Unsalted butter

2 tablespoons, melted

Maple syrup

for serving

Butter or cooking spray

for greasing the skillet

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
3. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
5. Scoop 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface (about 2-3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
6. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
7. Serve the sweet potato pancakes warm, generously drizzled with maple syrup.
