5-Ingredient Sweet Potato Banana Pancakes
Banana, sweet potato, nut butter, eggs and cinnamon are all you need to make these simple, real food pancakes come together!
- Total Time25 minutes
- Yield6 pancakes 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup sweet potato, cooked and well mashed
- 1 banana, well mashed
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons any nut butter, warmed
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl until well mixed with no large clumps. The consistency should be perfect for pancakes, but if it seems too thick for you, add a couple tablespoons of water or almond milk.
- Heat a large skillet (or griddle) over low-medium heat. Wait about 2 minutes for the pan to heat up and then coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of batter on to skillet or griddle for each pancake. I cook my pancakes two at a time since I don’t have a griddle. Let the pancakes cook for approximately 3-4 minutes. Flip when bubbles form on the surface and do not fill with batter, and the edges are no longer shiny. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, checking the bottom for golden brown color.
- Repeat until your batter is gone, spraying the pan between each set of pancakes.
- Top with warm nut butter and maple syrup. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Notes
Prep: This recipe can easily be made in a double or triple batch. You can meal prep and freeze the pancakes, then pull them out of the freezer and heat them up as you need them.
