Sweet Potato-Apple Pancakes
Description
This recipe transforms cooked sweet potato into a smooth batter by blending it with oat flour, egg whites, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Ground cinnamon and a touch of stevia season the mix, with diced apple pieces folded in to provide a fresh contrast in texture. The use of oats gives structure and mild nuttiness, while the sweet potato creates a naturally sweet, moist base.
Cooking the pancakes slowly on a greased hot griddle ensures that the centers cook through without burning the outsides, resulting in golden brown edges and fluffy interiors. The apples soften slightly but retain some texture.
These pancakes can be served warm with optional syrup or toppings of choice, suitable for a filling morning meal or brunch treat.
Ingredients
- 1 sweet potato around 11 ounces/300 grams, medium
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon stevia or sweetener of choice to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 2 egg large, whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 apple cored and diced, small size
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potato and cook in the microwave until soft, about 5 minutes on high power.
- While the potato cooks, combine the oats, stevia, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Process until the oats have turned into the consistency of flour and everything is well mixed.
- Heat a greased griddle or pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the potato is cooked through, add it to the food processor along with the almond milk, egg whites, and vanilla. Process until well combined and a batter is formed.
- Stir in the diced apple.
- Drop the batter by 1/4-cup portions onto the hot griddle. Adjust the heat so the pancakes cook slowly, ensuring the middles cook as the outsides brown. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes a side, flipping once.
