Step 1

Note: if you want, you can use pure pumpkin from a can or boil the sweet potatoes as well. I like them roasted for depth of flavour and sweetness.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).

Step 3

Wash and dry the whole sweet potatoes.

Step 4

Add them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake until the potato skins have puffed up, and the skins have turned color.

Step 5

You will notice sweet potato caramelization oozing out throughout the potato. The inside should be soft when a knife is inserted.

Step 6

Depending on the size of the potato (and the oven), they can take anywhere from 1-1.5 hours.

Step 7

Once cooked, cool fully and mash. Take 1/2 cup of cooked sweet potato for this recipe and add it to a bowl with two eggs.

Step 8

Optionally, add in a dash of vanilla and cinnamon. Mix well.

Step 9

Now, heat up a pan on medium heat and spray with avocado oil spray. Add 1/8 of a cup of the batter in the pan.

Step 10

Note: I like to make my pancakes small as they are easier to cook and flip. If you make these into big pancakes, you'll be left with a mess!

Step 11

Cook each pancake for a few minutes on each side and enjoy with maple syrup!
