Instructions

Place the mashed sweet potato in a large bowl. Add the eggs, milk, brown sugar, and maple syrup, then whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg. Stir gently until a smooth batter forms without overmixing.
Pour in the melted butter and mix until fully incorporated.
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.
Pour about 1/3 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 4 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter and serve warm with maple syrup or desired toppings.

Notes

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the batter for extra crunch.

Mix chocolate chips into the batter for a sweeter variation.

Substitute part of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a slightly healthier option.

A splash of vanilla extract can add deeper flavor.

Serve with sliced bananas, fresh fruit, yogurt, or toasted nuts.

Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freeze pancakes for up to 2 months and reheat in a toaster, skillet, or microwave.
