I am currently loving these sweet potato pancakes. So is my family. They are light and fluffy and full of all the yummy holiday flavors we love this time of year. And, even better, they are healthier than your average pancakes. They are gluten-free and the sweet potatoes add a nice big dose of beta-carotene and extra fiber. So, stick a sweet potato in the oven tonight and try these out tomorrow. I promise, you’ll be happy. Also, they are perfect for breakfast the day after Thanksgiving if you have left over sweet potatoes. Enjoy!
