Spiced Up Sweet Potato Pancakes with Honey and Toasted Pecans


Sweet potatoes! Something to get excited about! No, really, they are! Made by the earth (not some factory), they're loaded with nutrients, including a LOT of Vitamin A and beta-carotene.  These pancakes are topped with locally grown honey and toasted pecans (also courtesy of the earth) and they're delicious. Nothing in them comes from chemically loaded processed foods devoid of nutrients and they contain no refined sugars. No cravings caused by junk food here plus they contain the nutrition your body wants.



SPICED UP SWEET POTATO PANCAKES

1/2 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato
1/4 cup organic wheat flour
2 eggs
1 packet of stevia
1/4 tsp aluminum free baking powder
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground ginger
Milk of your choice (I used unsweetened cashew milk)

Mix the potatoes and eggs and flour together until no lumps remain adding just enough milk to make it a pourable batter. Add the remaining ingredients and cook just like any other pancake. This recipe makes 3 but 2 were plenty for me. Top them with honey and toasted pecans (I toasted mine by putting them in a dry skillet and shaking them around on the hot stove burner until they were crispy). Yum!!
