Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.5 cup pecans (chopped)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0 to taste maple syrup (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Steam or boil them until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Mash and set aside to cool.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, honey, and 1 cup of the mashed sweet potato until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

Step 6

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the heated skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, another 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 7

To prepare the pecan honey butter, mix the softened unsalted butter, chopped pecans, and honey in a small bowl until well combined.

Step 8

Serve the pancakes warm with a dollop of pecan honey butter on top. Drizzle with maple syrup if desired.
