Sweet Potato Pancakes/Waffles

Calories:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potato about 1 medium/large sweet potato
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 tsp honey or all natural maple syrup
- 2 tsp canola oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 bananas sliced (or 1 cup blueberries)
- 2 tbsp chopped almonds or pecans
- 1/4 cup nonfat plain or vanilla yogurt
Instructions
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl until blended, whisk egg, sweet potato, milk, honey, oil, and vanilla in medium bowl until smooth. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients; mix with rubber spatula until blended.
- To make pancakes: Coat large nonstick skillet or griddle with cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Spoon about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake into skillet; cook until bottoms have browned and small bubbles form on top, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until pancakes are browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes. (Adjust heat as necessary for even browning)
- To make waffles: Coat waffle iron with cooking spray; heat iron. Spoon in enough batter to cover 3/4 of the surface of each section, close iron and cook until waffles are crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes
- To serve, top pancakes or waffles with bananas (or blueberries), a sprinkling of nuts, and all-natural maple syrup.
- Tip: To cook sweet potatoes in the microwave, scrub them and pat dry. Prick in several places with a fork. Wrap individually in paper towels. Microwave on High, 5-8 minutes for one, 10 to 12 minutes for two, or 15-20 minutes for four. (If microwave does not have a turntable, turn sweet potatoes over midway through cooking). Let stand 5 minutes. Make a slit in each potato and scoop out the flesh.
canola oil? thats not healthy, very bad, read the reports please
Hello Ron,
Thank you for commenting! For an alternative to canola oil, you can also use sunflower oil or extra virgin olive oil. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day.
