Sweet Potato Pancakes: They sound like they should be a sweet potato version of a classic latke recipe but they’re not. Instead they’ll give your regular morning pancakes a run for their money. In addition to serving up admirable stacks of flapjacks using sweet potatoes in your pancake recipe also allows you to use up any leftovers you might have sitting in the fridge. For this stack of sweet potato goodness you’ll need 1 ½ cups sweet potatoes plus 1 cup all-purpose flour. This combination forms the base for the batter. A ½ cup sour cream and ¾ cup milk replace the buttermilk that would normally go into a basic buttermilk pancake recipe.

Leftover Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe
A large egg a few tablespoons of butter ½ teaspoon of baking soda ¾ teaspoon of baking powder and ¼ teaspoon of salt provide the binding agents necessary oils and leavening agents. Add 1 ½ tablespoons of maple syrup as well as a pinch of nutmeg and cinnamon to sweeten your short stack. As with most quick bread recipes the wet ingredients should be mixed together first then the dry ingredients should be mixed together in a separate bowl.
It’s not uncommon for most people to discover halfway through a recipe that they’re missing a few key ingredients like eggs or milk. If this is your conundrum sweet potato pancakes might still be in your future. If you’re missing eggs you have a few options at your disposal. Applesauce bananas flaxseed eggs your nut butter of choice or a vegan egg substitute would put sweet potato pancakes back on your breakfast menu.
You could try buttermilk in place of the sour cream and milk if you’re out of either or both of those ingredients. The same reasoning goes for using plain Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream. (Actually Greek yogurt makes a great egg replacement too.) Pumpkin pie spices can be substituted for nutmeg and cinnamon and if you’re making these warm pancakes the day after Turkey Day you probably already have some of those fall spices on hand.
