Sweet! Potato Pancake Recipe

I have to share this recipe with everyone. I found it at That's Not What the Recipe Says. These pancakes not only contain healthy sweet potatoes, but were yummy, fluffy and cooked without burning (that last one could just be that I found the sweet spot on my stove dial, I'm not sure).

I had 1.5 cups of sweet potatoes so I made 1.5 times the recipe. It made A LOT of pancakes, so if you are feeding an army (or growing boys), this is the perfect amount to make. And if you haven't yet discovered medallion-sized pancakes (use your tablespoon measure to pour them), they are "just my right size, Mommy!" as Lily says.

I like cooking with whole wheat flour, but I was afraid to ruin such a huge batch of pancakes by substituting too much, making them dense and soggy, so I did 1.5 cups of white and .5 cups of whole wheat flour. They turned out great, like I said.

Oh, and I added some nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla, because they seemed a little blah without some kind of flavoring. It's up to you whether you do that, and how much. I thought they were delicious, but then again, I am partial to the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg cooking. Smells like holidays and home.

The caramelized bananas added a nice touch to them and I didn't need syrup. The kids didn't quite catch on to the whole eat-it-all-together thing, but at least they ate some of the bananas, which frankly shocked me.
