1

Add to a large mixing bowl mashed sweet potato, eggs, maple syrup, nut butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt. Stir all ingredients together until the mixture reaches a smooth texture free of lumps.

2

Add whole wheat flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Pour in the milk and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, or your pancakes may turn out dense and dry.

3

Grease a griddle or a nonstick pan with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Once hot, pour one scoop of batter into the pan. Cook pancakes over medium heat until the underside is golden and bubbles begin to appear on the surface, then flip with a spatula and cook until golden.

4

Serve sweet potato pancakes with your favorite toppings such as nut butter, Greek yogurt and maple syrup.
