Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked sweet potatoes, mashed smooth
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg (or 1 flax egg for vegan adaptation)
  • 3/4 cup milk (use plant-based milk for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by roasting or boiling sweet potatoes until fork-tender. Let them cool, then mash thoroughly until smooth with no lumps for a silky pancake batter.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. This dry mix ensures even distribution of leavening agents and spices.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg with milk and vanilla extract. Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes until completely incorporated for a consistent batter base.
  4. Blend Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together just until combined — do not overmix to keep the batter light and airy.
  5. Cook Pancakes: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, lightly greased with butter or oil. Pour batter in small rounds and cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to help blend ingredients seamlessly for an even texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense pancakes; stir just until combined.
  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh for maximum rise and fluffiness.
  • Use a 1/4 cup measuring spoon for evenly sized pancakes.
  • Cook pancakes on medium heat to ensure they cook through without burning.
