Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweet potatoes: Cooked and mashed, about one medium sweet potato.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour: This forms the base of the pancakes.
- 2 teaspoons baking powder: Helps the pancakes rise.
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon: Enhances the flavor.
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg: Adds warmth and depth.
- 2 large eggs: Binds the ingredients together.
- 1 cup milk: Adds moisture to the batter.
- 1/4 cup maple syrup: Natural sweetener for flavor.
- 2 tablespoons butter: Adds richness and flavor.
- Pinch of salt: Enhances overall flavor.
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling, chopping, boiling or steaming until tender, then mashing.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, milk, maple syrup, and melted butter.
- Combine the wet and dry mixtures, stirring gently until just combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add butter, and pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
- Cook until bubbles form, flip, and cook until golden brown.

Notes
- Choose medium-sized, firm sweet potatoes for the best flavor.
- Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before cooking for fluffier pancakes.
