Sweet Potato Pancakes

I am a huge sweet potato fan. I could honestly eat them for every meal. If you are too, you have to make these pancakes! I love my 3 Ingredient Pancakes, but when I want to switch things up, I love to prepare these sweet potato pancakes. All you need is 6 ingredients and because the sweet potato is naturally sweet, no added sugar is necessary.

4 step process picture of how to make sweet potato pancakes

How do I make sweet potato puree?

For these pancakes you will need sweet potato puree. This is easy enough to make. First, bake a large sweet potato in the oven until soft. Secondly, allow the sweet potato to cool completely. Thirdly, remove the skin. Lastly, mash the inside of the sweet potato with a fork. BAM! You have sweet potato puree. Additionally, if you have leftover cooked sweet potato in your fridge, this is a great way to use it.

How do you make sweet potato pancakes from scratch?

  1. Whisk together all the ingredients for the pancake batter.
  2. Heat a pan on medium and add coconut oil.
  3. Use a ¼ cup scoop and pour the batter onto the pan.
  4. Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Serve with your favorite toppings! Nut butter is always a MUST for me!

How do you flip pancakes without breaking them?

  1. Use a good non-stick pan. THIS one is my favorite!
  2. Grease pan – I used coconut oil for this recipe.
  3. Don’t make your pancakes too large or they will be more difficult to flip. I used a ¼ cup scoop for this recipe.
  4. You may have to adjust the heat. If the pancakes aren’t cooking fast enough, increase the heat. If the pancakes are starting to brown too quickly, lower the heat.
  5. Be Sneaky – Slip your spatula under the side of the pancake if you think it may be done. If the batter is still sticking to the pan, give the pancake some more time to cook.

Can I freeze pancakes?

Yes! These Sweet Potato Pancakes are great for a healthy meal prep breakfast. Cook the pancakes, individually wrap them and place into the freezer. Simply re-heat in the microwave before enjoying.

      Hi Cecilia, I do not recommend using oat flour instead of the coconut flour. The recipe contains for eggs because the coconut flour soaks up more liquid than a traditional flour. Try out my 3 Ingredient Pancakes or Cottage Cheese Pancakes if you have oat flour on hand!
