These got 2 thumbs up from the kids. Even my daughter, who can be picky, ate these and asked for more!
Sweet Potato Pancakes
small sweet potato (about 5oz)
3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons brown rice flour
2 Tablespoons sorghum flour
1.5 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 Tablespoon ground flax
3 Tablespoons boiling water
1 Tablespoon coconut oil
1 Tablespoon pancake syrup (I used sugar free)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1. Cook the sweet potato and mash. I usually poke a few holes through the skin with a knife and microwave for a few minutes.
2. Bring 3 tablespoons of water to a boil in a small bowl (I use the microwave). Add the flax and stir. To this, add the coconut oil, almond milk, pancake syrup and sweet potato.
3. In a large bowl, blend together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, cinnamon and sea salt. Add the sweet potato mixture and mix until just blended.
4. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop batter onto a hot griddle. Cook until the edges look dry and flip. Cook a few minutes more. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon, if desired.
This will make about a dozen pancakes, each with approximately:
75 calories
1.5g protein
2.4g fat
12.4g carbs
1.3g fiber
I think these might be gluten free, but I'm not an expert in gluten free, so please don't take my word for it! :)

Hi. Your recipes look very good. I will have to try these. You seem to be on a very good track to eating healthy. One word of advice though - avoid the microwave! Do a little research on it. A little extra time in prep and not using the microwave, and your body will be thankful.
