Paleo Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe
Makes – 6 to 8 smallish pancakes, about 4 inches in size
Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree (about 2 medium sized sweet potatoes or canned puree)
- 2 tablespoons of Coconut Flour
- 2 Eggs
- ¼ cup of Almond or Coconut Milk (or any choice of milk)
- 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon of ground Cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract
- Coconut oil or melted ghee for greasing the skillet
Instructions
- Wash and clean 2 medium sized sweet potatoes and wrap in cling wrap. Zap it in the microwave for 2 minutes. If still not soft, zap it for one more minute. Let it cool.
- Once the sweet potatoes are cool to handle, remove and discard the skin and place them in a food processor and puree it till smooth and lump free. Measure 1 cup of the puree and store the rest for later use.
- Return the sweet potato puree to the processor/blender. Add the eggs, milk of choice, baking soda, cinnamon and vanilla and process/blend till smooth.
- Now add the coconut flour and pulse it till the coconut flour is combined. Do not overmix.
- Leave the entire thing undisturbed for 10 minutes. This gives the time for the coconut flour to absorb the moisture.
- After 10 minutes, if the batter looks too dry, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time, till it reaches the desired consistency.
- Heat an 8 inch skillet over medium heat and grease it with coconut oil, melted butter or ghee.
- Ladle about a quarter cup of batter in to the hot skillet and spread into a small circle. Do not make it too big, because of lack of gluten, it will break while flipping.
- Reduce the heat to the lowest setting on your gas/stove and cook for 2 minutes till the top look firm. Covering the skillet fastens the cooking process. Flip and let it cook for one more minute.
- Repeat Steps 8 and 9 till all the batter is used up.
- Serve with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
Notes
- Instead of sweet potato and cinnamon use pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie mix for a delicious “Fall” inspired breakfast.
- This recipe doubles or triples easily, though you may need to let it rest for a few extra minutes before cooking when you increase the volume of batter.
