Sweet Potato-Buttermilk Pancakes
Print This Recipe
Adding sweet potato or pumpkin purée to your buttermilk pancakes is a great way to sneak veggies and vitamins into your family’s breakfast. You can make the pancakes any time of year but they are especially comforting during the autumn and winter months. When I made these last, I used leftover sweet potato mashers from the night before but you can also use homemade pumpkin/sweet potato puree or even a canned variety.
