Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp fine kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup milk of choice
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: maple syrup and pecans

Instructions

  • In a bowl, stir all the dry ingredients: flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a second bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the mashed potatoes, oil, yogurt, milk, and vanilla.
  • Add in the dry ingredients with the wet, and stir well to combine.
  • Preheat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Scoop about 1/4 cupful of batter per pancake and cook in batches, for 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup and pecans, if desired.

Notes

Storing and freezing leftovers:
  • In the refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze: Flash freeze the pancakes by placing them on a pan (not touching), and freeze for about 30 minutes. Then, transfer them to freezer-safe bags or containers, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Label the bag with the date!
  • Reheat: Once you're ready to eat, you can reheat from frozen! Microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warm. You can also heat these in a toaster, toaster oven, or air fryer.
