Sweet Potato Pancakes
This recipe is one of my new favorites for pancakes - because sometimes you just want pancakes, right?! Or if you're more of a waffle person (to be honest I love them but haven't made them in forever) I suspect you can use this batter for that too! Sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin C, vitamin A (from beta-carotene) and potassium, which support immune function, vision, and heart health.

Ingredients:
  • 2 Sweet Potato (small)
  • 4 Egg (whisked)
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsps Maple Syrup
Instructions:
  1. Peel sweet potato and dice into small cubes. Fill a saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil. Drop the sweet potato in and steam for 7 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain off the liquid and transfer the steamed sweet potato to a bowl and mash with a fork. 
  2. Measure out about 1/2 cup of mashed sweet potato per serving and add it to a bowl. Add in the eggs and mix well. 
  3. Melt coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, pour pancakes in the skillet, no more than 1/8-1/4 cup of batter at a time. Cook each side about 3-5 minutes or until browned. Divide pancakes onto plates and top with cinnamon and maple syrup. Enjoy!
