Pancake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small cubes. Place them in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Sweet Potatoes

    Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a bowl. Mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

  4. 4

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  5. 5

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  6. 6

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side or until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup drizzled on top. Enjoy your delicious sweet potato pancakes!
