This recipe is a twist on the traditional pancake carb bomb. With minimal cooking you’ll pack tons more muscle-building protein and flavor thanks to the addition of sweet potato instead of flour. It’s a sweet and satisfying breakfast dish that might just become your favorite food. Bonus: It\u2019s also gluten-free.<\/p>\n

Sweet Potato Nonpancake\u00a0<\/strong>
\nMakes five 4-inch cakes<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n1 sweet potato (about \u00be lb.)
\n3 large eggs
\n\u00bd tsp cinnamon
\n\u215b tsp nutmeg pinch salt
\n1 tsp\u00a0coconut oil<\/a>\u00a0or butter<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/strong>
\n1. Prick sweet potato with fork, then microwave on high for about 7 minutes or until tender. Let cool, then remove and discard the skin.
\n2. Mash sweet potato, then mix in egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
\n3. Melt oil or butter in a nonstick skillet\u00a0over medium heat. Cook \u00bc-cup dollops of batter until golden and set. Gently flip and repeat.<\/p>\n

Make Your Potato Pancake a Savory Treat<\/strong>
\nInstead of cinnamon, add garam masala, rosemary, or garlic. Or\u00a0serve\u00a0pancakes with vegetables\u00a0like caramelized onions, carrots or chives. You can try\u00a0chorizo or bacon,\u00a0cheese, avocado, sour cream, or all of the above. The sweet potato in the recipe\u00a0tastes\u00a0subtle enough that it goes well with a wide variety of other flavors.<\/p>\n
