Ingredients:

– 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (approximately 1 large sweet potato)

– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose or gluten-free flour

– 1 cup buttermilk (or milk mixed with 1 teaspoon white vinegar)

– 2 eggs

– 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (or coconut oil)

– 2 tablespoons brown sugar

– 1 tablespoon baking powder

– 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

– Pinch of salt

– Optional toppings: maple syrup, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, whipped cream

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the sweet potatoes.

Peel and chop one large sweet potato into small cubes. Boil or steam the sweet potato until it becomes soft. Use a masher or fork to mash the cooked pieces until they reach a smooth texture. Measure out one cup of mashed sweet potatoes.

Step 2: Combine dry ingredients.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

Step 3: Mix wet ingredients.

In a separate bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk well to incorporate all ingredients.

Step 4: Combine wet and dry mixtures.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; some lumps are okay.

Step 5: Preheat your griddle or pan.

Preheat a non-stick griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat with butter or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 6: Cook the pancakes.

Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the griddle or pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 7: Serve and enjoy.

Place cooked pancakes on a warmed plate and serve immediately with your choice of toppings, such as maple syrup, chopped nuts, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
