Serves four
Prep: 3 minutes
Total: 6-10 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1. In a large bowl, mix the water, sweet potato puree and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, if using. Add the pancake mix and stir just to combine — the batter should be lumpy.
2. Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil, and spoon the batter onto the griddle or pan, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
3. Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the batter is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Then use a spatula to flip the pancakes and cook them until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
