Sweet Potato Pancakes!
With a few extra sweet potatoes & a need for a good snack for Harrison other than crackers, I decided to take advantage of his afternoon nap & whip up some sweet potato pancakes. I can’t remember where I snagged this recipe, it was so long ago…probably Wholesome Baby Food?
I skinned, cubed, steamed, pureed a sweet potato into my Beaba Cook & then let it sit in the steam a little longer to make sure it was very easy to work with.
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (I used salted because it’s all we had & they were tasty)
- 1/2 cup cooked sweet potatoes, mashed (I had them practically pureed rather than mashed)
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 cup milk (or more)
- Mix sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl with egg. Stir in the flour and add the baking powder. Add up to 1/3 cup of milk while stirring. Stir in 1 tbsp butter.
- The mixture should have the consistency of thick, lumpy sauce like an “instant” pancake mix.
- Place a non-stick or heavy iron skillet over medium heat on top of the stove and add 1/2 tsp butter.
Then cook it just as you would a regular pancake!
Gorgeous, aren’t they? Golden & fluffy & so sweet & buttery on their own that they honestly need NOTHING added. Nate tried them & also gave them the “thumbs-up” & I’m pretty sure these will be moving into our own rotation.
& as a snack? I do believe they gained Harrison’s approval as well.

Thanks for sharing your recipe! I saw you talking about it on face book (in regards to eating them- I would also, LOL) and then I was thinking I hope she shares the recipe!! Thanks again, and I will be sure to try these out!!!
I haven’t seen them on WholesomeBabyFood, which I love BTW, but they are on In Sock Monkey Slippers. She has amazing baby food recipes! http://www.insockmonkeyslippers.com/sweet-tater-cakes-for-everyone-and-baby
We’ve also used canned pumpkin for pancakes. It’s really good as well.
Those look great! But my favorite part of this is Harrison in his fluffy CD eating them… TOO cute!
That looks soooooo good!! I’ve got to try that b/c my mom has an instant powder mix & it’s good – can’t imagine how yummy homemade are!
Nice weblog article. I arrived on the internet to discover exactly where to watch nfl football games and somehow arrived across your blog. You ought to write a post on how you can watch football on the internet because it is a popular topic correct now. I used Google and only arrived up with this site http://www.usedshoe.com/wordpress2/2007/10/03/watch-every-nfl-game-online-for-free/ but need some more options.
These look great! How old was Harrison when he started eating them.
