Ingredients
  

For the pancake batter
  • 1 large large egg Egg provides binding and fluffiness.
  • 1 large egg white Extra fluffiness and lower fat.
  • ½ cup cooked sweet potato (mashed, not hot) Provides natural sweetness and flavor.
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances flavor.
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon Adds warmth and spice.
  • Pinch ground nutmeg Optional spice for flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine the large egg, egg white, mashed sweet potato, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg. Stir everything well until the mixture is smooth.
Cooking
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Pour a small amount of batter onto the skillet.
  3. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
  4. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes until it is golden brown.
  5. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serving
  1. Serve warm with your favorite toppings.

Notes

Make sure the sweet potato is well-mashed and not hot when you mix it in. Keep the skillet at medium heat to avoid burning the pancakes. If the batter is too thick, you can add a little water or milk to thin it out.
