Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 15 mins

Yield: 12 small pancakes

Ingredients

1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (about 1 medium cooked sweet potato)

2 eggs

Oil or butter for cooking

Optional Seasonings:

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch of ground ginger

pinch of allspice

pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the sweet potato and eggs until well-combined. Add seasonings, if desired, and stir. Heat oil or butter over medium-low heat.
  2. Drop the sweet potato mixture by the tablespoon and cook for 3-5 minutes.
  3. Flip each cake and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until lightly golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Notes: Bigger pancakes may need longer cooking time, lower heat works better, and don’t try to flip them before fully cooked on one side.
  4. Topping ideas: applesauce, sour cream, nuts or nut butter, fruit, or maple syrup.
