Servings: 4

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

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
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.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary.
Serve the sweet potato pancakes warm, generously drizzled with maple syrup.
