Did you know that you can make breakfast food using sweet potatoes? The sweet potato, a December Foods of the Month, is, in fact, quite versatile. You can make sweet potato hash browns, a sweet potato egg scramble, or sweet potato pancakes. We ended up making the sweet potato pancakes this month, and it was a great choice! The sweet potato makes the pancakes super moist, and you won’t even be able to tell that these sweet breakfast treats are made with no flour! The next time you have a cold morning, we suggest you make a batch of these yummy pancakes. These would also make a great breakfast on Thanksgiving because they won’t make you feel overly full like regular pancakes. Drizzle on some all-natural maple syrup and you’ve got yourself the perfect breakfast food packed with Vitamins A and B6 thanks to the sweet potato and healthy good fats thanks to the eggs!
Make a batch of these healthy #sweetpotato #pancakes for #breakfast this weekend! Yum! Share on X
- 1 medium sweet potato
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp. skim milk
- 1 tsp. coconut oil, melted
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- Place the sweet potato on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel and cook in the microwave for 6 minutes, until it is cooked through.
- Let the sweet potato cool for 10 minutes, then remove the skin.
- Using a fork, mash the sweet potato in a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk thoroughly until everything is combined, creating a batter.
- On the stovetop, heat a non-stick skillet to medium heat. Use a tablespoon to drop the batter onto the skillet, forming a pancake shape. When batter begins to bubble (after 3-5 minutes) flip the pancake over and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
- Repeat until all the batter has been used (about 8 small pancakes) and enjoy with a drizzle of maple syrup.
