Ingredients

For the Pancakes:

1 1/4 cup sweet potato puree *
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons almond milk unsweetened
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

For the Nut Butter Yogurt:

1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt I use Fage, for Paleo use coconut yogurt (I have a homemade recipe on Paleo Hacks for it)
1 tablespoon nut butter

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat a grill pan to medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
Add all ingredients to a blender (coconut flour measured properly) or food processor and process on high until the ingredients are broken down and smooth.
Scoop 1/4 cup of the batter onto the grill pan. Using a spatula or spoon, press the batter into the pan to make a round pancake.
Cook 15 minutes until the batter appears a bit brown around the edges then very carefully flip with a wire spatula. The batter will be loose so be careful when flipping. Do not use a plastic spatula as it will stick. Note, the pancakes will not bubble to indicate they are ready to flip so watch them carefully.
Cook another 15 minutes on the other side until cooked through.
Carefully transfer the pancakes to tin foil or plastic wrap to cool. Do not place on a wire rack as they will stick.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator/freezer for meal prep.

Notes

I used canned organic sweet potato puree. You can also roast your own sweet potatoes and puree them, but the consistency turns out a bit different & depending on the sweet potato they may need a little oil to thin them or an extra egg to hold them together.
These pancakes take longer than regular pancakes to bake. If you flip them too soon, they will fall apart. They should be very brown on the bottom before flipping.
If the pancakes crumble or fall apart, you can roll it into a ball, press flat and place back on the grill pan or griddle to reheat.
If the pancakes fall apart, this is due to not measuring the flour properly. Coconut flour is VERY particular. Different brands of coconut flour weigh differently too so if you use a different brand than I used, results may vary and/or the pancakes may not hold together.
