Ingredients
- – 1 cup (240 ml) leftover mashed sweet potatoes
- – 2 large eggs
- – 1/2 cup (120 ml) milk
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) packed light brown sugar
- – 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup plus more for serving
- – 3/4 cup (90 g) all-purpose flour
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) cinnamon
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- – Pinch nutmeg
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter plus more for cooking
Instructions
- In a sizable bowl, combine the leftover mashed sweet potatoes with the eggs, milk, brown sugar, and maple syrup, whisking until everything is well blended.
- Gently scatter the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg over the sweet potato mixture and stir until the texture is smooth. Incorporate the melted butter and continue mixing until well integrated.
- Place a large nonstick skillet on medium heat and melt a small amount of butter in it. Once the butter is melted, pour ⅓ cup portions of the sweet potato batter onto the hot skillet. Cook until bubbles appear on the pancake’s surface, which should take about 2 to 4 minutes, then turn the pancake over and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat this process until all the batter is used up, resulting in approximately 8 pancakes.
- Serve the pancakes warm, drizzled with maple syrup.
Notes
- Consider enhancing the sweet potato batter with a touch of vanilla extract for a more robust flavor profile.
- Incorporate chopped pecans or walnuts into the pancake batter to elevate the texture of the pancakes.
- Customize the flavor of the pancakes by experimenting with spices like ginger or cardamom.
