Sweet Potato Pancakes

Sweet Potato Pancakes

Golden and hot off the griddle, Sweet Potato Pancakes have a hint of spice and are like sneaking into the kitchen to snack on pie. While they have no sugar added, who will stop you from pouring over a little maple syrup? (Just don't tell the kids this sweet treat contains Vitamin A, whole grains and is higher in protein than the average pancake. Shhhh.)

1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato (approximately. If your measuring cup runneth over it will be fine.)
2 duck eggs or 3 chicken eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp cloves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Blend together the sweet potatoes and milk, then add the eggs and blend until liquified. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix well.

Lightly oil a hot griddle (or pan.) For coin-sized pancakes, pour the batter by tablespoons onto the griddle. For average sized pancakes, pour about a quarter cup.

Cook the pancakes until golden on one side or bubbles appear on the surface. Flip them over, and cook until golden on the other side.
