Description
Deliciously fluffy Sweet Potato Pancakes infused with warm spices, perfect for breakfast, brunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, roasted or steamed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil) for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- If not already done, roast or steam sweet potatoes until soft, then mash until smooth.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the mashed sweet potatoes, buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well blended.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook until golden brown.
- Keep pancakes warm in a low oven while finishing the batch. Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Keep the skillet at medium heat for even cooking. Customize with mix-ins like blueberries or nuts for added flavor.
