Paleo Sweet Potato Pancakes

I tried these yesterday morning and they didn't turn out as great as I would have liked them, but they were still pretty good.  I borrowed the recipe from Paleo Betty.  Here is how I made them.

Ingredients:


  • 2 sweet potato's
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tbsp. agave nectar (the sweet potato's make it sweet already)
  • 6 eggs (to me, this was a ton!  Next time I am going to try and add less eggs and more almond flour)
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Coconut oil for the griddle

Instructions:

1.  Peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into 1" inch cubes.  Place them in a pot of boiling water and let them boil for about 15 minutes or until you can poke a fork in them.  Next, drain them.  

2.  While waiting for those to drain, combine the almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.  Mix it well and set it aside.

3.  Put the sweet potato's in a Ninja or a food processor and blend till they are a puree.  Then add the agave nectar, eggs, and vanilla.  

4.  Next add the dry ingredients to the mixture.  Your mixture should be very liquidy.  (Mine wasn't super liquidy, but the pancakes still turned out.)

5.  Add some coconut oil to the griddle and let it get hot.  Then pour on!  Wait until the sides are a slight brown tint and some bubble are coming out of the tops of pancakes.  Then flip!

Here are a few pictures:
