Instructions

1. Prepare the sweet potato:

Bake, boil, or microwave a sweet potato until soft. Let cool, then mash until smooth. Measure out 1 cup.

2. Mix dry ingredients:

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

3. Mix wet ingredients:

In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the milk, vanilla, mashed sweet potato, and melted butter. Mix well.

4. Combine:

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Don’t overmix; a few lumps are fine.

5. Cook:

Heat a lightly greased pan or griddle over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of batter per pancake. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through.

6. Serve:
