Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine sweet potato, margarine and egg whites. Stir in milk.
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Stir into the sweet potato mixture.
Heat a nonstick skillet sprayed with vegetable oil over medium-high heat. When pan is hot, pour in about 2 tbsp (30 mL) batter to make pancakes about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in diameter. Cook on one side for about 2 minutes or until pancake starts to bubble. Turn pancake over and cook for another 1 minute, until browned.
A nice change from traditional pancakes, these are wonderful topped with butter and maple syrup.

Kitchen Tips: For a slightly sweeter version of these pancakes, add 2 tsp granulated sugar to the batter at the end of step 2. These pancakes freeze very well. Simply reheat frozen pancakes in your toaster oven.
