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:
Whisk together the sweet potato and eggs until well-combined. Add seasonings, if desired, and stir.
Heat oil or butter over medium-low heat (I prefer coconut oil).
Drop the sweet potato mixture by the tablespoon and cook for 3-5 minutes.
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
