The No-Flour Pancake


Prep Time

15 minutes

Cooking Time

4 minutes for each pancake

Yields

2 pancakes

Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato, baked
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup oat bran (optional)
  • A dash of cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, divided in 2
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey (optional)

Directions

I usually bake the sweet potatoes in bulk at the beginning of the week and keep them in the fridge for an easy breakfast or dessert. 

To bake, Wash the sweet potatoes with a brush and add to a covered pyrex oven dish. If you don't have a cover for your pyrex, use another pyrex up-side-down to cover. Bake at 200 degrees C for 1 hour. 


To assemble the pancake batter:

  1. Peel 1 medium sweet potato and mash it in a dish
  2. Add 2 eggs and whisk 
  3. Add the oat bran and the cinnamon
  4. Stir until well combined

To cook:

  1. Heat a safe non-stick pan or a cast iron pan
  2. Add half a tablespoon of coconut oil
  3. Add half the batter and press it to an even circle
  4. Cook for two minutes, then flip carefully using 2 spatulas
  5. Cook the other side for 2 minutes
  6. Repeat for the other half
  7. Add pure maple syrup or honey if you're using it 
  8. Enjoy!

Notes

P.S. As an alternative, you can use less batter to cook small pancakes. If you do this, it will be easier to flip. 

The oat bran is not necessary, but it holds the batter together and adds more fiber.
