Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potatoes

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk (or a plant-based milk alternative)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons melted butter (or coconut oil for a dairy-free option)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: If you haven't prepared the sweet potatoes yet, begin by peeling them and cutting them into cubes. Boil or steam the sweet potato cubes until they are tender, which will take about 15 minutes. Once cooked, mash the sweet potatoes and set them aside to cool slightly.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Sifting helps to ensure an even distribution of ingredients and remove any lumps for smooth pancake batter.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together your cooled mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.

        Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be cautious to avoid overmixing; it’s perfectly fine to have a few lumps in the batter! If you’re including nuts, fold them in at this stage.

          Preheat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with either butter or oil to prevent sticking.

            Cook the Pancakes: Once the skillet is preheated, pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges start to look set. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.

              Keep Warm and Serve: Transfer the pancakes to a warm oven (set at a low temperature) while you finish cooking the remaining batter. Serve your fluffy stacks of sweet potato pancakes with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, whipped cream, or extra chopped pecans for a delightful crunch.
