Fluffy and flavorful sweet potato pancakes, a delightful breakfast or brunch option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potato, milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  4. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. 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.
