Sweet Potato Pancakes, Mmmmmm!


I love sweet potatoes any which way you could possibly make them.  Good thing for me- they are pretty good for you!
This recipe makes 3 large pancakes, 2 of which are shown below.  Following the recipe, they should be about 200 calories each.  Add some sugar free maple syrup on there, and it's still not a bad meal.  I had 2 for dinner and will be thoroughly enjoying the last one for breakfast tomorrow morning.  :)


1 medium sweet potato (Wash, chop off ends, wrap in foil, and bake at 400 for 1 hour.  Scoop out the inside and mash before adding to batter)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
 1/4 tsp. salt
 1/8 tsp. ginger
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1/8 tsp. allspice
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. vegetable oil
1 egg
1/8 cup packed brown sugar (I prefer dark)


Mix together flour, baking powder, salt, and all spices.  Add buttermilk and vanilla, followed by oil, egg, and brown sugar.  Add mashed potatos, mixing well.
Cook as you would regular pancakes!
