Ahhhhhhh! That is the sound of me exhaling after a CRAZY week. Luckily, the sun is shining AND I don’t have to go to work today. I do have a 9:30AM appointment with the Trainer so a healthy breakfast is in order.
There is an easy recipe for mini banana pancakes that I make sometimes on the weekends. It is from Hungry Girl and always fills me up before a busy day. Plus, it makes only one serving, which is perfect for pancakes!
I had a left over sweet potato from last night’s dinner and decided to adapt this recipe to make Sweet Potato Pancakes…yum!
I briefly (30 seconds) heated my sweet potato and removed the skin. I mashed it and added the wet ingredients.
I combined the dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
Add your sweet potato mixture to the dry ingredients and stir well. Drop small spoonfuls onto a heated skillet (sprayed with Pam). Flip after 3-4 minutes. Do not press down on pancakes.
Pancakes will be lightly browned on one side. Heat for another 1-2 minutes.
Serve with powdered sugar, fruit (I ate all my blueberries while I was cooking), or maple syrup.
If you have never had sweet potato pancakes, I am SORRY! If you have, then you will be thrilled to find this recipe. My pancakes turned out wonderful!
