Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato (roasted and mashed)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon butter or oil (for greasing the pan)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast one medium sweet potato until soft (about 45 minutes to 1 hour). Allow it to cool, then peel and mash it until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of mashed sweet potato for the recipe.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate large bowl, combine the milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Whisk until well combined.
Step 4
Add the mashed sweet potato to the wet ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Grease the pan with butter or oil.
Step 7
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8
Flip the pancakes and cook the other side until golden brown, about 2 more minutes.
Step 9
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Step 10
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, whipped cream, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit. Enjoy your Sweet Potato Surprise Pancakes!
