Ingredients

  • 1 cup baked sweet potato ~1.5 medium
  • 3 scoops protein powder (I used Tone it Up, Vanilla)
  • 6 eggs large
  • 3 tbsp almond milk
  • 3/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 3/4 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 + 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°

  2. Bake sweet potatoes until tender, about one hour.  Let cool slightly.

  3. Add 1/2 of cooking oil to skillet, on medium-low heat (that part is important)

  4. Mash cooked sweet potatoes in large bowl, add almond milk and mix in. Add remaining ingredients to bowl. Stir until a batter is formed. 

  5. Pour batter into skillet and flip once bubbles form (be patient, these pancakes cook low and slow). Add remaining oil as needed between batches.
