Clean sweet potato protein pancakes 🥞
I went with Lakanto maple syrup over organic maple syrup this round
Ingredients (1.5x or double the recipe if needed):
1 medium sweet potato (about 200g), cooked and mashed (~1 cup mashed)
2 large eggs
1 scoop Levels Vanilla Whey Protein
1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: a pinch of salt
Instructions:
Prep the Sweet Potato: If not already cooked, peel and boil or steam the sweet potato until soft (about 15 minutes), then mash it until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
Mix the Batter: In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, eggs, whey protein, Ceylon cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt (if using). Whisk until smooth.
The batter should be thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add 1-2 tbsp of water or unsweetened almond milkCook the Pancakes: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown
