Sweet Potato Pancakes: Delicious and Nutritious

I love sweet potatoes! They are my favorite holiday side dish, but there are many other ways to serve them and many good reasons to encourage your family to eat them. Studies have shown that they are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin C, manganese, copper, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and iron.

With that said, try out these sweet potato pancakes for a delicious and nutritious holiday breakfast.

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 large eggs 
½ cup currant currants
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled, mashed
½ cup butter, melted and cooled
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil for griddle

In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. In a second large bowl, whisk together milk, sweet potatoes, currants, eggs, butter, and vanilla. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the sweet potato mixture. Gently stir together with a large spoon until completely blended, being careful not to overmix.

Place a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat and lightly coat with oil. Ladle batter onto the hot griddle using a ¼-cup measure. Gently flip pancakes over once bubbles appear on the top of the batter and cook until both sides are lightly brown.
