Sweet Potato Paleo Pancakes

These Paleo Sweet Potato Pancakes are made using mashed sweet potato to create moist, fluffy grain-free pancakes!

For once I’m going to avoid rambling and just tell you the facts:

1. These are the best paleo pancakes I’ve made to date.

2. They’re stinkin’ easy to make and can even be reheated in the microwave or toaster.

3. Go make them right now because they rawk.

Paleo Sweet Potato Pancakes

Fluffy, cinnamon-y, sweet paleo pancake recipes are not easy to come by, but using sweet potatoes to make them must be the secret trick!

Just microwave the sweet potato to get it soft enough, mash, mix in the ingredients, and pancakes away. It really couldn’t get much easier to make grain-free, gluten free pancakes!

These babies are delicious with maple syrup, peanut butter, or even just cinnamon on top.

I love that this is a paleo pancakes recipe with coconut flour, sweet potato, eggs, and additional ingredients you probably already have on hand.

Paleo Sweet Potato Pancakes

I love making a big batch of these paleo sweet potato pancakes at the beginning of the week and refrigerating them to heat up in the toaster all week!

Next time you’re looking for a quick and easy paleo pancakes recipe, give these sweet potato pancakes a try! They’re a great way to use up extra sweet potatoes this Thanksgiving season.

These pancakes are so amazing that I don't miss regular pancakes! I top these with unsweetened applesauce and they are now my weekend "treat" breakfast. Thank you!

I enjoyed these sweet potato pancakes very much and so did my 10-month old daughter. They were simple to make and I had ALL the ingredients on hand. I was searching for an easy, healthy pancake breakfast for my little one and I found it!

Mine did turn out kind of thick and didn't bubble. Would you be able to make a suggestion as to why ? They turned out great still, but am wondering where I messed up. Maybe I over stirred it??

Thanks so much for your comment! These definitely will be thicker than regular pancakes. I recommend spreading out the batter with your spoon when you spoon the batter onto the pan to make them thinner.

Can you freeze these and reheat them later?

Yes! I recommend reheating them in the toaster.

Hi-- I want to love these, but!...my batter never turned into an actual batter. It was very lumpy and therefore did not cook well. They also have an egg-like consistency (reminds me of a quiche). Any advice!? I followed the recipe to a t.

Thanks so much!

The batter was not really a batter. Is that normal? It was thick and lumpy as well.
