Cinnamon sweet potato pancakes are a grain-free, gluten-free, vegan friendly pancake recipe that is delicious and packed with antioxidants and other nutrients.
Puncture potatoes with fork several times to allow for venting while cooking. Place on a silicone baking sheet/parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Bake for 40-60 minutes. The smaller potatoes will cook a lot quicker than larger ones. To check the level of doneness, you can try to cut one with a knife. If there is little resistance, they are done.
Making the Cinnamon Sweet Potato Pancakes
When they're done, cool to the touch. Then peel the skin off (it should be separated, so it's very easy to rip away by hand.
Mash them up well and then mix in the egg. Once the egg is well mixed in, mix in the vanilla, baking powder, and the cinnamon.
Heat a non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or grease.
Scoop out 1/4 cup into a griddle or non-stick frying pan. The batter is rather thick so you'll need to shape it and spread it.
Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side. You'll know it's ready when you can get the spatula under the pancake and move it without it ripping.
Flip and cook for 4-5 minutes on other side. Repeat for the remaining batter.
Serve these fresh with maple syrup, chopped nuts, sprinkled cinnamon, or fresh fruit of choice.
Notes
Making these goes much quicker if you have a griddle.
