SWEET POTATO PANCAKES WITH HONEY CINNAMON BUTTER

These pancakes made a very yummy, fun Saturday morning breakfast.

SWEET POTATO PANCAKES WITH HONEY CINNAMON BUTTER

FOR THE HONEY CINNAMON BUTTER
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
FOR THE SWEET POTATO PANCAKES
2 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup store-bought pancake mix
1 small pinch ground nutmeg
1 small sweet potato, boiled, peeled and mashed (about 1/2 cup)

Beat together the butter, honey and cinnamon until smooth. Transfer to the refrigerator until ready to use.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and oil. Stir in the pancake mix and nutmeg until just combined. Fold in the sweet potato. If the batter seems too thick, add more buttermilk until it reaches the desired consistency.
Place a large, greased pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, spoon the batter onto it and cook until the surface of the pancake is covered with bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook the other side until golden, 1 to 2 minutes more. Serve topped with the honey-cinnamon butter and a little maple syrup if desired.
Enjoy!
