Description

Sweet potato banana pancakes are just like your favorite country-style restaurant. This copycat recipe combines sweet potato and banana into breakfast.

Ingredients

1 sweet potato, cubed
3 eggs
2 scoops vanilla protein powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup oats, ground to flour
1/4 cup flax seeds
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (such as Trader Joe's®)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 large banana, sliced
2 1/2 tablespoons almonds
2 1/2 tablespoons pecans
2 1/2 tablespoons walnuts
2 tablespoons coconut oil, or as needed

Directions

1 Fill a pot with water; bring to a rolling boil. Add sweet potato; return to a boil. Cook until sweet potato is tender, 7 to 10 minutes; drain.
2 Mash sweet potato in a small bowl with a fork.
3 Combine 1 cup mashed sweet potato, eggs, protein powder, milk, oat flour, flax seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder in a bowl; stir in banana, almonds, pecans, and walnuts until combined.
4 Melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop enough batter into the skillet to make a 4- to 6-inch pancake; cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip; cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
