Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes

Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes blend rolled oats, mashed sweet potato, eggs, and collagen or protein powder into a batter flavored with cinnamon and vanilla. The batter is blended smooth and cooked on a skillet to form pancakes with a tender inside and a lightly crisp outside. These pancakes offer a hearty texture and mild sweetness from the sweet potato, enhanced by warm cinnamon. They can be enjoyed with nut butter or maple syrup toppings for breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 coops collagen powder or protein powder*
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt sea salt
  • 1 cup sweet potato 1 medium cooked sweet potato, mashed
  • 2 whole egg
  • 3 egg white
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract pure

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Begin by cooking the sweet potato. You can boil for 20 to 25 minutes on the stove top, roast it or microwave it. Once cooked and cooled, mash the sweet potato. You will need 1 cup of mashed sweet potato.
  2. Add the oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt (dry ingredients) to a blender and blend until a flour forms (note: you can also use 1 cup of oat flour if you have it on hand).
  3. Add the remaining ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth and combined. Don’t worry about over-blending!
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat on the stove top and add enough oil to lightly coat the surface.
  5. Pour pancake batter onto the hot skillet (I use about ¼ to ⅓ cup of batter per pancake) and cook until the sides firm up, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook an additional minute or two, until cooked through.
  6. Enjoy sweet potato rolled oat protein pancakes with choice of toppings - I like mixed nut butter and pure maple syrup.

Notes

  • Protein powder is optional; using unflavored collagen or goat whey protein powder keeps the pancakes mild and unsweetened.
  • Vanilla protein powder can be used to add extra flavor if desired.
  • Sweet potato can be cooked by boiling, roasting, or microwaving before mashing.
  • Cooking pancakes over medium heat and flipping when edges firm ensures even cooking without burning.
