Side view of a threehigh stack of vegan sweet potato and apple pancakes with syrup dripping down.

These wheat-free pancakes are sweetened with nothing but homemade, sugar-free applesauce—but a drizzle of maple syrup to serve certainly isn't a bad idea.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 pancakes

Ingredients

3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1/3 cup hot water
1 cup firmly packed shredded unpeeled sweet potato
2 tablespoons unrefined extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried sage
1 cup brown rice flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F.

    Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk the flaxseed with water and set aside for 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    In a medium bowl, mix sweet potato, applesauce, olive oil, lemon juice, sage, and the flaxseed slurry.

    Step 4

    In another medium bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.

    Step 5

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine.

    Step 6

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it with ghee or olive oil.

    Step 7

    Scoop out slightly less than 1/2 cup batter and roll it in your palms to form a ball. Place it on the baking sheet and press down to form a 1/4-inch-thick pancake. Repeat the process.

    Step 8

    Bake for 20 minutes or until brown.

    Step 9

    Serve topped with a dollop of coconut yogurt or whipped coconut cream, a drizzle of Grade B maple syrup, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon.

    Step 10

    Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet with a dash of ghee.
