- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato
- 1 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the griddle
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
- Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For extra fluffy pancakes, let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking.
- Cooked sweet potato can be prepared by baking, boiling, or steaming until tender.
- Leftover pancakes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or microwave.
