Ingredients
-
1 sweet potato, cubed
-
3 eggs
-
2 scoops vanilla protein powder (Optional)
-
½ cup milk (Optional)
-
½ cup oats, ground to flour
-
¼ cup flax seeds
-
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (such as Trader Joe's)
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
1 large banana, sliced
-
2 ½ tablespoons almonds
-
2 ½ tablespoons pecans
-
2 ½ tablespoons walnuts
-
2 tablespoons coconut oil, or as needed
Directions
-
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.
-
Mash sweet potato in a small bowl with a fork.
-
Stir 1 cup mashed sweet potato, eggs, protein powder, milk, oat flour, flax seeds, pumpkin pie spice, and baking powder together in a bowl. Stir in banana, almonds, pecans, and walnuts until combined.
-
Melt coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop enough batter into the skillet to make a 4- to 6-inch pancake and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 3 to 5 minutes more. Repeat with remaining batter.
Cook's Notes:
You may opt to add some vanilla extract to taste in place of the vanilla protein powder.
If you prefer, you can substitute 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg for pumpkin pie spice.
You can substitute almond milk instead of whole milk if desired.
