Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp salt until combined.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, beat 1 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato, 3/4 cup milk, 1 large egg, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  4. Step 4: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush with melted butter. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake and cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and edges are set, then flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Serve pancakes stacked, drizzled generously with 1/4 cup pure maple syrup for a warm, soul-nourishing breakfast.
