How to Make Pancakes With Sweet Potato

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup water, 1 cup sweet potato puree, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice (optional).
  2. Add 2 cups pancake mix to the wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
  3. Lightly coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
  4. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Bubbles will appear on the surface before flipping.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
