Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cooked sweet potato
  • 1/2 cup ripe banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup nut milk add more if the batter is too thick
  • 1/2 cup cassava flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • dashes cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp almond flour optional (see tips below)

Instructions

  • Mash up the sweet potatoes and bananas and add in the rest of wet ingredients, egg, coconut oil, nut milk
  • Once the wet ingredients are mixed well, add dry ingredients - cassava flour, cinnamon and baking soda
  • Heat up a pan with some coconut oil (I usually use the spray)
  • Turn the heat to medium then pour pancake batter onto the pan in ring shaped
  • Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes
  • Add your favorite toppings and maple syrup. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. For instructions of cooking sweet potatoes, see my tips in the post above
  2. If the batter appears to be too thick, you could add a couple tbsp more nut milk. I use my homemade version. 
  3. Adding up to 1 tbsp of almond flour will make it more on the softer side. So if you prefer your pancakes or waffles not as firm, you could add a little almond flour.
