Pancakes don't have to be bad for you! If you are buying the store bought pancake mix - you're not doing much for yourself in the way of clean eating. But if you want to switch it up a little bit and make some healthy pancakes - try these Sweet Potato Pancakes!!Why sweet potatoes? So many of my clients think that carbs are bad for you. But that's just not true. It's just important to eat the healthy carbs - the ones that are the most nutrient dense. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, Manganese, Copper, and vitamin B6. Additionally they are a great source of potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and phosphorus.
Make these pancakes in small sizes and drizzle a little pure organic maple syrup. YUM! This will be a great way to start your day :)
Ingredients:
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
2 large organic eggs
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour or coconut flour
olive oil or coconut oil for frying
pure maple syrup
How to do it:
- Add sweet potato and eggs into blender, blend until smooth.
- Add in baking powder and the flour of your choice. Blend again until smooth but try not to over mix. Stir if needed but do not over mix it! If you still see lumps just let it be. Set the mixture aside.
- Heat your pan on medium-high heat, add in your preferred oil. My preference is extra virgin olive oil.
- Pour your desired amount of pancake batter. I like to make small ones! Cook, when you see bubbles on top, flip the pancake and cook the other side.
- Repeat until all batter is cooked, and top with pure & organic maple syrup.
ENJOY!!
