Sweet Potato Pancakes - ways to use sweet potatoes
Put a medium sweet potato in the microwave 4 minutes (or until soft)
Get the rest ready while it cooks then cools a bit
Dry Ingredients
1 Cup flour (any kind, whole wheat, all purpose, pastry)
1/2 cup quick oats
4 tbsp Flaxseed meal
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp cardamon (or cinnamon)
couple dashes cloves
couple dashes nutmeg
1 tbsp sugar (yes that is all you need)
Whisk together
Wet Ingredients
1 1/2 cup skim milk
1 egg (large or 2 small)
about 2 tsp vanilla
Whisk together
Pour into dry ingredients
combine until all wet then STOP - if you mix too much you'll have tough pancakes
Mash sweet potato with about 1/4 cup milk (want it slightly damp) Mash it good.
Dump into pancake mix (which has now had time to activate all the baking soda/powder) mix in
use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour pancakes on to 350 degree griddle or cook on stove top on a flat ish pan.
2 - 3 minutes per side. (when the bubbles are immense and the edges look dryish FLIP!)
drizzle a little teensy bit of syrup on top and enjoy one of the healthiest breakfasts you can.
Flaxseed meal REPLACES oil - adds fiber and a bag will last forever - sugar is not necessary because you'll be putting syrup in top
You're getting protein, fiber, omegas, beta carateen, etc..
My kids love these and also enjoy helping me make them.
