Weekend breakfasts around here usually consist of piping hot coffee, a big bowl of fruit, and a plate-full of pancakes.
The tradition of standing over the stove with kitchen smelling like cinnamon is something special to us and any guests that may show up for a Saturday brunch.
Seriously, everyone loves pancakes.
This pancake recipe is one that I love to make over the winter. It is cozy, perfectly spiced, and reminds me of eating pie in the form of pancakes. We get veggies first thing in the morning along with lots of protein.

Gluten Free Sweet Potato Pancakes
Materials
- 1 medium-sized sweet potato pre-cooked*
- 3 Tbsp. almond flour
- 2 Tbsp. nut milk
- 1 Tbsp. maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 Tbsp. nut butter I used almond butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
For serving (optional):
- granola maple syrup, nut butter, yogurt, sliced banana
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, combine all pancake ingredients.**
- Blend on high until smooth and creamy—about 2 minutes, scraping sides as needed.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease. Once hot, drop a heaping Tbsp. of pancake batter onto the skillet and gently spread with the back of a spoon.
- Cook each pancake for 1-2 minutes, flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side. Pancakes should be dark and crisp on the outside, and soft on the inside.
- Keep cooked pancakes on oven-safe pan in oven set to “keep warm” or low until ready to serve.
- Serve pancakes warm with optional toppings. Leftovers will keep refrigerated in airtight container for up to 3 days, though best enjoyed fresh.
Notes
Note also that my food processor has a sharp blade so I do not peel my sweet potato. If your food processor is slow or needs the blade replaced, I recommend peeling your potato after microwaving it. **You can also throw everything in a bowl and mash with a fork—it takes an extra minute but still will taste amazing! Nutrition information is a rough estimate of 1/2 of the recipe without toppings
