Kids Dinner

Ingredients

1 large sweet potato

1 banana

6 eggs

2/3 cup of all-purpose flour

Execution

1

Clean the sweet potato in running water, wrap it in a wet piece of paper towel, put in the microwave for about 9 mins on high.

2

Peel the sweet potato and mash the cooked sweet potato and banana in a bowl.

3

Add eggs and mix until smooth. I find a simple whisk is fine. Mix it until all the chunks are blended in and the mixture is smooth.

4

Whisk in the flour and mix until the batter is well combined and thick.

5

Heat a lightly oiled griddle (I use a bit of butter) and drop about 1/4 cup batter and cook until bubbles form on the edges and until browned on the other side, 3-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

6

My kids love it served with Maple Syrup preferably. Honey if the syrup isn’t available.

Tips for Perfect Pancakes

• Consistency Matters: If the batter feels too thick, add a splash of almond milk to thin it out.
• Don’t Rush: Cook the pancakes slowly over medium heat to ensure they’re cooked through without burning.
• Double the Recipe: These pancakes freeze well, so make extra for easy breakfasts during the week.
