Fluffy sweet potato pancakes are a cozy and nutritious breakfast option made with mashed sweet potatoes, warm spices, and a touch of maple syrup. They’re easy to prepare, naturally sweet, and perfect for weekend brunches or family mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (plus more for serving)
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (plus more for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Place mashed sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk, brown sugar, and maple syrup. Whisk until combined.
  2. Sprinkle flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg over the sweet potato mixture. Stir gently until smooth.
  3. Add melted butter and mix until fully incorporated. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease with a small pat of butter.
  5. Scoop 1/3 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–4 minutes until bubbles form on the surface.
  6. Flip and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  7. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with maple syrup and desired toppings.

Notes

  • Use leftover or freshly baked sweet potatoes for convenience.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain fluffiness.
  • Let the batter rest to help hydrate the flour and relax the gluten.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave or on a skillet for best texture.
