2 Ingredient, Healthy Sweet Potato Pancakes

Y'all, I am sharing a favorite of mine with you today! As a mom, you really can’t get any better than 2 ingredients. From a health standpoint, 2 ingredients means this is clean eating at its best. And these are perfect for little hands!


Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato (the flesh from 1 medium-small cooked sweet potato)

  • 2 eggs

  • oil or butter for cooking

Optional Seasonings:

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon pinch of ground ginger pinch of allspice pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the sweet potato and eggs until well-combined. Add seasonings, if desired, and stir.

  2. Heat oil or butter over medium-low heat (I prefer coconut oil).

  3. Drop the sweet potato mixture by the tablespoon and cook for 3-5 minutes.

  4. Flip each cake and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until lightly golden brown on the outside and cooked through.

Notes:

  • Measure the sweet potato! This is crucial. You need 1/2 cup cooked sweet potato flesh and 2 eggs. You can double or triple the recipe, just keep the ratios the same.

  • Do not flip until they are fully cooked on one side. One commenter said she’s timed it and she has found they need exactly 3 minutes per side. If you try to flip them too early, they will likely fall apart.

  • Don’t try to cook these on too high of heat. If you do, they will likely burn on the outside before the inside is cooked.

  • Smaller pancakes flip easiest. I use a tablespoon. Larger pancakes work, you just have to be patient and let them slowly cook, at a lower heat, a bit longer.

  • You can mix the batter by hand, or use a blender
