Ingredients

2 ½ cups pancake mix I use Kodiak Cakes Cinnamon Oat
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
1 egg

Instructions

Mix the pancake mix, milk, sweet potato and egg in a large bowl. Let the batter rest while you heat a griddle to 350° or a large skillet on the stove top over medium heat.
Add a little butter or spray with cooking spray, add ⅓ cup portions of batter to the hot griddle, or frying pan, and cook pancakes until the edges become dry and air bubbles form on the top, usually 3-4 minutes, flip over and cook another 2-3 minutes.

Notes

If you can't find Kodiak Cakes Cinnamon Oat Power Cakes mix look for a better-for-you premade pancake batter to make these quick and easy.

I use almost all of one 15 oz can of sweet potatoes. I drain them and then mash them, you can leave some chunks if you want.

You can omit the butter or cooking spray if have a griddle or frying pan that the batter won't stick to. I have a ceramic griddle and it is truly non-stick so no spray or butter is necessary.
