Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup baked sweet potato
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp collagen peptides
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
 

  • *note: these are the same texture as the popular 2 ingredient banana pancakes (banana, eggs). They're softer than typical pancakes. If they're too soft for you, just cook them on low for a little longer on each side or pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds after cooking! (: Make them your own!
  • another note: If you want sweeter pancakes, add a tbsp of granulated sweetener to the batter.

Bake your sweet potato

  • Oven method: Preheat the oven to 400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash the potato skin, poke holes around it with a fork, and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 45min-1hr or until fork tender.
  • Microwave method: Wash sweet potato and pierce all over with a fork.Wet a paper towel, wring it out, and wrap it around the potato.Place on a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 3 minutes.Flip and microwave for another 2 minutes. If it still feels firm, continue in 30-second increments until tender.

Pancakes

  • Add all of the ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Lightly grease a skillet and warm over low-medium heat.
  • Drop spoonfuls of the batter on the skillet and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side until golden. Flip and repeat on the other side. I find these tend to take a little longer than normal pancakes to cook through, so be patient and don't cook them on too high of a heat or they'll brown too quickly!
  • Once fully cooked, remove the pancakes from the pan. Enjoy with toppings of choice!
