Healthy Sweet Potato Pancakes

As I mentioned to you in my last post (see – sweet potato pasta), fall definitely has me craving ALL things root veggies. ESPECIALLY in the mornings! Enter: Healthy Sweet Potato Pancakes! I’m a big fan of starting the day off with a hearty breakfast, and these sweet potato pancakes hit the spot! Let’s get into it!

Healthy Sweet Potato Pancakes Specifics

These sweet potato pancakes are absolutely amazing for a Fall breakfast. Perhaps a mid week brunch session or over the weekend too. Hell, you could even enjoy them for dinner! Here’s what you need..

• Sweet Potato: I used canned sweet potato puree, which is super simple to find at the store! I absolutely love using this nutrient dense veggie which is packed with Vitamins B and C, you can’t go wrong!
• Spice it up: For this recipe, I used a combination of allspice, cinnamon (duh) and nutmeg.. You can also totally use a pumpkin pie spice if you don’t have those three, or even just the cinnamon!
• Sweeten it up: I personally used a little Monk Fruit sweetener, which I love because it has zero glycemic index (and thus doesn’t spike our blood sugar), but any that you have on hand will do! Another favorite of mine is coconut sugar. I also added in a bit of pure vanilla extract.
• The flour: AKA the main portion of the pancakes! I opted to use Almond Flour, which I love because it adds in a bit of protein and healthy fat to the mix in our batter! I haven’t tested it with other flours.
• Special touches: I finished my pancakes with some Ghee and Pure Maple Syrup (the Costco one is my JAM), and seasonal fruit. The special touches matter!
