Sweet Potato Pancakes with Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Makes 12 to 14 pancakes

Ingredients:

t
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

t

• 1 tablespoon baking powder

t

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

t

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

t

• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

t

• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

t

• 1-1/4 cups soy, almond, or rice milk

t

• 3/4 cup mashed cooked sweet potato, cooled (about 1 small sweet potato)

t

• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips, dairy free

t

• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

t

• Canola oil, for pan

t

• Powdered sugar, for serving

t

• Cinnamon Whipped Cream

Directions:

t
1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. In a separate small bowl, whisk together non-dairy milk, sweet potato puree, and maple syrup.

t

2. Add the liquid to the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should have some lumps.

t

3. Lightly oil a large nonstick skillet or griddle and heat over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Let cook for about 2 minutes until bubbles appear in the center of the pancake.

t

4. Flip, and let cook on the other side until lightly browned and cooked through, about 3 more minutes. These pancakes will need to cook slightly longer than your average pancake since the sweet potato adds extra moisture.

t

5. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed. If the batter becomes too thick, add a little more nondairy milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.

t

6. To serve, dust pancakes with powdered sugar and top with a dollop of Cinnamon Whipped Cream.
