Sweet Potato Pancakes

The Christmas season has arrived and with it all the wonderfulness including peace, love, joy and house guests. I find that a lot of the peace, love, and joy in our house depends greatly on how well I plan for guests this time of year. To maintain the peace, love, and joy I try to plan. However, I find that I focus a lot on planning special dinners only to realize after the guests have arrived, that I hadn’t planned any breakfasts.
 
Cereal, anyone?
Ingredients for sweet potato pancakes
 
Let’s face it, failing to plan for breakfast when guests are in town is kind of like getting the guest bedroom in tip-top shape only to neglect the bathroom. It’s a little disappointing. I don’t think that it needs to be hard, but I think making a breakfast that someone might not normally make for themselves is special and creates great memories. For example, someone might say, “Remember the sweet potato pancakes <insert your name here> made when we visited? They were so amazing!”
 
 So, if you’re like me, and need to build your special breakfast repertoire try these sweet potato pancakes. I recommend making the batter the night before so all you have to do in the morning is cook the pancakes. That way it’s all so effortless, which is always a nice thing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into two inch cubes
  • 1 and 1/2 cup flour, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    I make pancakes all the time, but never sweet potato. I love that you prepared this at night and just cooked in the morning. That would be something I would do. I think this should be Sunday’s breakfast!

    @Carin Galletta: Pecans would be a great substitution for the walnuts–

    I haven’t made a special breakfast in a very long time. The pancakes sound great. I think I’ll make these for my family on the weekend; I think they’ll be pleasantly surprised… šŸ™‚

    Hi,

    These look fantastic. I’m allergic to walnuts, what would be a good nut substitution?

    I can’t wait to make these for my family.
