These low carb, fall-flavored pancakes are so simple to make. You’ll begin by boiling one small, peeled sweet potato until it is very soft. Mash it until it is smooth. You need about 1/2 cup of mashed sweet potato.

Whisk the sweet potato together with 2 large eggs. Add 3 tablespoons of almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. That’s it. If you have your sweet potato precooked, it literally only takes about 3 minutes to make this pancake batter.

Cook the pancakes in a little butter or you can use coconut oil, until light brown on both sides.

Sweet potatoes are wonderfully full of nutrients. They have lots of Vitamin A and C and add fiber and moisture to these pancakes. The extra fiber will help keep you full longer.

Tip: If you have leftover mashed sweet potatoes, you can use that. You’ll need about 1/2 a cup.

Try topping these Low Carb Sweet Potato Pancakes with almond butter. Yum!!
