Someone asked me the other day what was the healthiest, “easy” food she should keep in her fridge at all times. Almost instantly — possibly because I was inspired by the time of year or simply because I adore them so much — I blurted out sweet potatoes. Aside from being incredibly yummy, sweet potatoes truly are a nutritional powerhouse, loaded with vitamins A and C, beta carotene, and fiber.

Starting in October and all the way through spring I regularly find myself baking eight sweet potatoes at a time to refrigerate and then use in all sorts of ways. They’re beyond easy to prepare and the possibilities for what you can do with them are endless — be it to toss into school lunch with some maple syrup and a bit of butter, serve alongside a protein at dinner, eat whole whenever you need a superfood pick me up, or mash into these delectable, moist pancakes for breakfast.

Sweet potatoes are not only a superfood, they’re also inexpensive (aka easy on your weekly food budget). Whenever I make them I always bake a few extras to keep in the fridge for a snack or to turn into recipes like these Sweet Potato Pancakes. Speaking of extras, I also make extra pancakes to freeze for later or spread with cream cheese and honey to make pancakes sandwiches for school lunch.

If you have toddlers or new eaters these are a great choice for those who are teething and ideal for little hands to hold. However no matter your age or the occasion, these pancakes are a delicious, good-for-you dish.

Watch this Sweet Potato Pancakes to get everyone in on the act making and eating these yummy pancakes!

  1. I loved this recipe!! I used flax eggs and oat flour instead of regular and they turned out really yummy! My one year old loves them. They did turn out a little more firm with the oat flour in them, making them easier to eat with tiny hands
