Ingredients

Instructions

  • *If you don't have already cooked sweet potatoes, boil 1 large or 2 small sweet potatoes until fork tender. Then remove skin and mash the sweet potatoes very well. 
  • Combine the vinegar and dairy free milk. Let this sit for 10 minutes. This makes vegan buttermilk.   
  • In a large bowl add all the dry ingredients. Whisk together.
  • When ready, add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and combine gently. 
  • Add in the mashed sweet potatoes and vanilla and combine well again. 
  • Add a small amount of dairy free butter to a skillet over medium low heat. Once melted, Add ½ cup of pancake mixture to the skillet.  
  • Wait until bubbles start to form and flip. Cook other side for 1-2 minutes or until golden brown and remove.
  • Repeat until no batter remains. 
  • Serve topped with vegan butter, syrup, nut butter, or any favorite sauces! 
  • Tip: Place an oven safe dish in the oven at the lowest temperature. Place pancakes on the dish after cooking to keep the pancakes warm while you cook all of them.
