Ingredients
 

  • ½ medium cooked sweet potato, flesh only (~⅓ cup packed)
  • 1 whole egg + 2 whites
  • 1 teaspoon grapeseed or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup, optional
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch nutmeg

Instructions
 

  • Add the eggs to a small bowl and lightly beat. Mix in the cooked sweet potato and oil, and blend until smooth (If mixing by hand, keep stirring and mashing for a couple of minutes until the batter becomes well combined. It’s okay if you have some texture from the sweet potato.)
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and optional maple syrup. Mix in the ground cinnamon and nutmeg so it’s fully incorporated in the batter. *Alternatively, you can puree all ingredients in the blender for a super smooth batter.
  • Liberally mist a skillet with oil spray and warm over medium heat (do not make the flame higher or the pancakes will burn). Ladle the batter on the hot skillet (a scant ¼ cup per pancake, for a total of 4) and cook on the first side for 3 minutes.
  • Flip and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until they’re lightly golden brown. Enjoy plain or with natural applesauce and or low-fat yogurt on top.
