Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 medium sweet potato (about 200g), steamed and mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp butter or oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potato by washing, peeling, and cutting it into small cubes. Steam until tender, about 15 minutes, then mash until smooth.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, and milk until well mixed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined; avoid over-mixing.
- Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top (about 3 minutes), then flip and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
