Sweet Potato Pancakes
Yet another sweet potato recipe… but I promise these 4 ingredient sweet potato pancakes are going to be your new favorite way use sweet potatoes!
I know I know I know you probably think I’m a crazy person for the amount of sweet potatoes I eat haha. But seriously they are one of the easiest ways to get paleo, gluten free recipes. AND they’re inexpensive.
I baked my sweet potatoes the night before to save time in the morning. Seriously one of the best ways to save a little time! You don’t even have to make a recipe with them- just eat a baked sweet potato along with an egg and avocado. If you are looking for an easy recipe though, this is the recipe for you!
Also, if you don’t have a sweet potato prepped- you can just toss it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. Make sure you take a fork and poke holes in it though.
I took my sweet potatoes ( I used 3 small ones), peeled them, then mashed them with a fork. It ended up being 1 1/2 cups. Added that into my blender with all the other ingredients! The secret to making this recipe into a batter is blending it- mixing it by hand doesn’t get it smooth enough.. or maybe I’m not strong enough haha.
Then I sprayed my cast iron skillet with a little non stick spray ( I use Trader Joe’s coconut oil spray typically) and cooked over low medium heat. I used a spoon and just used about 2 spoonfuls per pancake.
The recipe made 6 1/2 little mini pancakes! I’m not a nutritionist so I’ll never personally recommend serving sizes- eat what makes you feel good!
I love savory pancakes so that’s how I ate mine- with a crispy fried egg + avocado. The best way to do savory pancakes! Saving the leftovers in a container in the fridge for later. They’d probably keep 4 days in the fridge but I know mine will be gone before then haha.
If you love sweet potatoes and love pancakes- this is your new favorite breakfast!
Happy Wednesday guys!
