Ingredients

1/2 cup sweet potato puree
2 small eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup flour spoon and level
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Blend sweet potato puree with the eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, brown sugar and milk until you get a smooth mixture. Then, transfer it to a large bowl. Incorporate sifted flour and stir to combine. Be cautious not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes. Mix until the ingredients are just combined for a fluffy result.
Use a non-stick skillet to cook your pancakes. Place the skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tbsp of butter, reduce to low heat. Then, drop some pancake mixture into the skillet. Cook the pancake for 1- 2 minutes or until the edges begin to settle. Wait until you see bubbles forming on the surface of the pancake before flipping. This indicates that the bottom is cooked. Flip gently to avoid deflating the pancakes. Repeat until you run out of batter. After the first pancake, you may not need to add more butter for each subsequent pancake if your skillet is truly non-stick.
Serve warm with maple syrup, butter, or extra cinnamon on top. If making a large batch, warm the cooked pancakes in a low-temperature oven until ready to serve.

Notes

Tips

Sift the flour before incorporating it into the wet ingredients. This helps to remove lumps and ensures an even distribution of flour in the batter, resulting in a smoother pancake texture.
Cooking pancakes over low to medium-low heat allows for even cooking without burning the exterior. Patience here will result in perfectly cooked, golden brown pancakes.
Feel free to customize the recipe to your taste. You can add a dash of vanilla extract to the batter for extra flavor or incorporate other spices like nutmeg or ginger for a more complex taste.
