Ingredients

Scale

1 cup mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 medium)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Poke holes in each sweet potato and bake for about 45 minutes until tender. Let cool before scooping out the flesh.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, eggs, milk, and cinnamon. Mix until combined but don’t over-mix; lumps are fine.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil or butter. Once hot, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet.
Cook until bubbles form on top and edges look set; flip carefully using a spatula and cook until golden brown on both sides.
Serve warm topped with maple syrup or fresh fruit.
