Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pierce the sweet potato several times with a fork and bake for 45–60 minutes, or until fork-tender. Cooking time will depend on the size of your sweet potato.
  • Let the sweet potato cool until comfortable to handle. Peel off the skin and mash the flesh with a fork until smooth.
  • Add the eggs and cinnamon to the mashed sweet potato. Whisk until everything is well combined and the batter is relatively smooth.
  • Lightly coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray or oil and heat over medium-low heat.
  • Scoop small portions of batter into the skillet and gently spread into pancake shapes. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the edges begin to set and the bottoms are golden brown.
  • Carefully flip each pancake and cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until cooked through and golden on both sides.
  • Transfer to a plate and enjoy warm with maple syrup, honey, or your favorite toppings.
