Sweet Potato-Apple Pancakes
Sweet Potato-Apple Pancakes combine softened sweet potato and rolled oats processed into a batter with egg whites, almond milk, and warm cinnamon. The diced apple adds bursts of freshness and texture. Cooking over medium heat allows the pancakes to brown slowly, delivering tender centers with golden crusts. This recipe suits a wholesome breakfast or brunch option when a slightly sweet and fruit-enhanced pancake is desired.

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.
