Jazz up traditional pancakes by adding spices and sweet potatoes. Increase your fruits by topping with homemade applesauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp Complete pancake and waffle mix
  • 1 tsp Pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 3 cup Brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup Mashed sweet potatoes -- or winter squash or pumpkin, baked or canned
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 tbsp Chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients and stir just until large lumps disappear. Note: Over-stirring will result in tough pancakes.
  2. Pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto skillet or electric griddle heated to 350 to 375 °F.
  3. When pancakes bubble around edges and towards center, sprinkle with chopped nuts (if you choose). Then, flip pancakes.
  4. Pancake is done when bottoms are golden brown.
  5. Serve with applesauce or syrup.
