Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Mashed sweet potato
• 1.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Butter or oil (for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, milk, egg, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; a few small lumps are okay.

Step 4

Stir in the melted unsalted butter to the batter to enhance flavor and texture.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter or oil to lightly coat the surface.

Step 6

Scoop approximately 1/4 cup of the batter per pancake onto the hot skillet. Use the back of a spoon to spread the batter into a circle if needed.

Step 7

Cook each pancake for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown on both sides.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or oil to the pan as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as additional maple syrup, whipped cream, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
