A nourishing wholefoods twist on a traditional breakfast staple. Natural sweetness from sweet potato and a little maple syrup makes this delicious recipe a brilliant breakfast or an energy filled afternoon snack for when the 3pm munchies hit.
Ingredients
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour
2 eggs
1/2 med sized sweet potato
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 cups milk of choice (I used organic soy)
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup organic maple syrup
Method
Cook the sweet potato in the microwave until flesh is soft, scoop it out and mash in a bowl with a little of the milk until smooth
Sift flour and baking powder into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre
Whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup and vanilla together and add to the flour a little at a time until combined
Add the mashed sweet potato and beat with a mixmaster until fluffy - this is important as you’re not using self raising flour so it needs to have as much air as possible to make sure the pancakes are fluffy
Heat a large frypan and melt a little butter over medium heat. Wipe the excess butter off with a paper towel
Pour batter into the pan to desired size and cook until bubbles form on the surface, flip over and cook for around another minute
Serve with your favourite fruits and toppings. I love berries and Mayvers Cacao Super Spread
