Sweet Potato Pancakes

These yummy pancakes are dairy and flour free.  They make the perfect protein packed healthy breakfast for my long running days and are a nice treat for brunch!

  • 1 Small Sweet Potato
  • 3 Eggs 
  • 1 Egg White
  • 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Almond Butter
  • 1 Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoons Walnuts
  • 1 Banana
  • Sugar Free Syrup
Peel the sweet potato and cut into small squares.  Place the pieces into a microwave safe dish and cover with water.  Microwave for about 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes to check for softness.  Once the potatoes are tender, drain the water and whip with a whisk.  Add the eggs, almond butter, baking powder, and spices.  This can be refrigerated overnight if necessary.  Heat the pan to low-medium and coat with cooking spray.  Pour the batter on the pan once hot.  When bubbles form in the center of the pancake, loosen edges with a spatula then flip.  Cook for another 30 seconds.  Top with sliced bananas, walnuts, cinnamon, and syrup.  This makes enough pancakes for 2-3 servings.
