These 2-Ingredient Sweet Potato Pancakes are a simple, nutritious, and delicious breakfast option made with just sweet potato and eggs. Soft, naturally sweet, and lightly spiced with optional vanilla and cinnamon, they come together quickly and cook in a skillet for golden-brown, fluffy pancakes perfect for topping with maple syrup or butter.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 small sweet potato
  • 2 eggs

Optional Ingredients

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sweet Potato: Rinse the sweet potato thoroughly and pierce it several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
  2. Cook the Sweet Potato: Microwave the pierced sweet potato on high for about 3 minutes or until it becomes tender when pierced with a fork.
  3. Cool and Peel: Let the sweet potato cool enough to handle safely, then peel off the skin using your fingers or a knife.
  4. Blend Ingredients: Add the sweet potato flesh to a blender along with the eggs. If desired, add the vanilla extract and cinnamon for extra flavor. Blend until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
  5. Heat the Skillet: Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat and coat it lightly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  6. Cook the Pancakes: Pour batter into approximately 2-inch diameter circles onto the skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the other side is browned and the pancakes are cooked through.
  7. Serve: Serve the pancakes warm, topped with butter, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • Microwave cooking times may vary depending on wattage; ensure the sweet potato is tender before peeling.
  • Optional vanilla extract and cinnamon add depth of flavor but can be omitted for a more basic taste.
  • Use a blender or food processor for a smooth pancake batter.
  • Non-stick spray helps prevent sticking and aids in even cooking.
  • Adjust pancake size and cooking time based on your skillet and preference.
  • These pancakes are naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by substituting eggs with flax eggs, though texture may vary.
