Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil, plus more for cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- In another bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

- Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter or oil as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or yogurt as desired.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based milk and oil instead of butter.
