Brunch-Ready Sweet Potato Pancakes


No thanks could ever be enough for the troops who ensure our freedom, but I hope you attempted. Before heading out to the National Mall this Memorial Day, I sat down with friends uptown and made brunch. These pancakes were a smashing hit, and secretly easy to make (no one needs to know.) Plus, many of my friends said they didn't even need syrup, because they could "definitely taste the yummy sweet potato." I hope they're a hit for you too!

Servings: 18-20 pancakes

What You'll Need:
  • 2 and a half cups boxed Complete Pancake Mix
  • Water 
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • Microwave & Medium Pan
  • Cooking Spray
The Step-by-Step:
  1. The night before (or a few hours before) -- cut a slit into the middle of the sweet potato and microwave for 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes, then peel off the skin with your hands. Place the sweet potato in tupperware and keep in the refrigerator.
  2. When ready to make the pancakes -- With a whisk, stir water (a little at a time) into the pancake mix until slightly runny.
  3. Add the sweet potato, and then with the whisk, mash it until it everything has mixed well.
  4. Heat the pan and add cooking spray.
  5. One by one, cook pancakes for about 3 minutes per side.
  6. Serve with maple syrup or nothing at all! :)
here's to summer brunches.
