- Using a mixer, blender, (or really strong arms) combine your egg/coconut mixture with your mashed sweet potato.1 cup sweet potato
- Add the rest of your ingredients and mix well. (You can do this with a stand mixer, hand mixer, or in a blender. If using a blender, be sure to scrape down the sides a few times to get all the dry ingredients incorporated.)¼ cup coconut flour, ¼ cup almond flour, ⅓ cup tapioca starch, 1 tablespoon raw honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- Let the mixture sit for a few minutes while you melt some ghee in a skillet or on a griddle. (Medium-low heat.) This will allow the baking powder to get to work and fluff up the batter. You will want 2 - 3 teaspoons of ghee to start or even better, brown butter ghee.ghee
- Ladle about 1/4 – 1/3 of a cup of pancake batter onto your skillet or griddle. If you are adding chocolate chips or fruit, sprinkle them over the pancake batter.¼ cup Enjoy Life Mini Chocolate Chips, ¼ cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chunks
- Once the pancake is slightly bubbly and the bottom is cooked to the point where you can slide a spatula underneath, flip it over and cook the other side. Each pancake takes about 2 – 4 minutes a side depending on how hot your pan is.
- Add more ghee (1 teaspoon or less) to the pan in between pancakes and adjust your heat accordingly as you cook the pancakes. Your pan will eventually get really hot if it is on for a while and your pancakes can start to burn.
- Once cooked, serve with fresh fruit, ghee, or maple syrup.
Notes
You can also make these sweet potato pancakes into sweet potato waffles by cooking the batter on a waffle iron - based on the size of your waffle iron, pour about 1/2 cup of batter onto your waffle iron, sprayed with a non-stick spray or coated with ghee or refined coconut oil.
If you are making a lot of sweet potato pancakes at one time and you want to keep them warm, turn your oven on to a very low temperature (250°F) or a “Warming” setting and spread your cooked sweet potato pancakes or waffles out on a baking sheet while you cook the rest of the pancakes. This will keep them warm and remove excess moisture while you cook the rest of your sweet potato pancakes.
