Caleb helped Mommy puree some sweet potatoes to make his favorite sweet potato pancakes. I think only half of the potatoes actually made it in! Caleb is a good helper :)

For anyone curious, here’s the recipe. Yum.

Sweet Potato Pancakes (from nurturebaby.com)
• 2 cups of white whole wheat flour
• 3 tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. kosher salt
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp. nutmeg
• 1 large sweet potato – baked, peeled and pureed
• 2 cups milk
• ¼ cup melted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tbsp. brown sugar
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract

1. In large bowl, combine first five (dry) ingredients together and set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine sweet potato, milk, butter, eggs and sugar and vanilla and mix until smooth. Slowly add dry ingredients to mixing bowl; mix until just combined. (A few lumps are OK; over mixing will make the pancakes tough.)
3. Pour ¼ cup portions of batter onto greased skillet. Cook on medium heat and flip pancakes when bubbles form on the surface. Pancakes should be a golden brown color.
