Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 white egg white
  • ½ cup cooked sweet potato (mashed, not hot)
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch ground nutmeg

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the large egg, egg white, mashed sweet potato, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. Stir until you have a smooth batter.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Cooking
  1. Scoop batter onto the pan and cook until bubbles form.
  2. Flip the pancakes and cook until they’re golden brown.
  3. Serve warm with maple syrup or coconut yogurt, and top with nuts or berries if desired.

Notes

For an extra fluffy texture, beat the egg white to soft peaks and fold it gently into the batter. Use leftover sweet potato for convenience. Store in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for 3 months.
