Sweet Potato Pancakes with Cinnamon Honey Butter

Somehow, this sweet potato pancakes recipe from 3 years ago got lost in cyberspace. Since it is a very popular breakfast recipe, I wanted to recreate it for you. They are delicious and a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes.  And while they are delicious for breakfast, you can also have them for lunch, dinner or snacks.  Baby sweet potato pancakes dipped in maple syrup are a delicious afternoon snack.

Sweet potatoes are very popular here in Georgia and a crop I have actually had decent success growing in my garden. Of course, when you grow sweet potatoes in the garden, you are left with so many sweet potatoes you have no idea what to do with them all! Pan-fried, oven-roasted, mashed and turned into fries. There are a lot of ways to use up too many sweet potatoes and sweet potato pancakes are a delicious one.

How to make sweet potato pancakes

So, for these sweet potato pancakes,  just bake the sweet potato in foil for about an hour at 425 degrees. Do this ahead of time so you can let it cool. Handling hot sweet potatoes is not fun! We made these homemade pancakes for dinner and they are filling but oh so tasty!

They make a delicious and healthy breakfast recipe but we also do breakfast for dinner quite often as well. Serve with real maple syrup and some cinnamon honey butter and you will have a happy and well-fed family.
