    Cup of Yum
  1. Bring a medium size pot of water to boil over medium heat (enough water to cover the potatoes).

  3. Transfer the softened sweet potato to a food processor or blender. Pulse until smooth. Add water if needed to get desired consistency.
Sweet Potato Pancakes
  1. In a large mixing bowl combine the sweet potato puree and greek yogurt. Add in the milk, melted butter, egg and maple syrup. Stir to combine.
  2. Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon to the mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the vanilla extract and mix.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Spray with cooking spray or melt some butter on the pan. Using a ¼ measuring cup scoop the pancake batter and pour onto the heated skillet. Work in batches of 3-4 pancakes depending on what can fit on the skillet.
  4. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes, you will notice bubbles forming on the top of the pancake batter, then flip to cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove the pancakes from the skillet and continue until all pancake batter is cooked.

Notes

  • Keep them warm: Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Once it reaches about 150, turn the oven off. Keep the door closed. This keeps it nice and warm inside. Then place the cooked pancakes on a large baking sheet in the oven to keep the cooked pancakes warm while cooking the additional batter.
  • Nutrition information doesn't include additional butter and syrup as toppings.
