I still remember the first time I made these savory sweet potato pancakes for my friends on a chilly morning.
We all gathered in the kitchen, the air filled with the warm aroma of sweet potatoes and spices, and we laughed as we flipped pancakes, drizzling them with maple syrup.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Sweet potatoes are packed with vitamins and add a lovely natural sweetness to these pancakes. I usually use almond almond milk, but any plant-based almond milk will do! If you're gluten-free, try using a gluten-free flour blend.
Tips & Notes
- •If your batter seems too thick, just add a splash more almond milk to loosen it up.
- •I like to keep my pancakes warm in the oven at 200°F while I finish cooking the rest.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I toss in some cooked quinoa for added texture and protein.
- •You could also swap out the spices for some smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a skillet or toaster oven for that fresh-off-the-pan taste!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these pancakes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the batter ahead and store it in the fridge for a day or two. Just give it a good stir before cooking.
What toppings do you recommend?
I love them with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of extra green onions, but avocado slices or cashew cream work wonders too!
