Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup mashed sweet potatoes
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted, plus extra for cooking)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little butter to coat the surface.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
7. For the brown sugar glaze, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 1/4 cup of brown sugar and stir until dissolved, then drizzle over the pancakes before serving.
