Sweet Potato Recipes
It is no secret that we love sweet potatoes here on Fit Foodie Finds. We have so many delicious sweet potato recipes where sweet potatoes are the main dish and recipes that use sweet potato puree to create delicious flavorful recipes. You just can’t go wrong.
Why sweet potatoes? Let us tell you why!
How to Cook with Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes can be prepared a few different ways. How you prepare your sweet potatoes depends on what recipe you are making!
- Roasted Sweet Potatoes are great for a side dish or if you are preparing a recipe like a buddha bowl or a breakfast hash!
- Baked Sweet Potatoes are also great as a side dish or a main dish if you make them loaded sweet potatoes! We also like to turn our left over baked sweet potatoes into potato puree to use later!
- Sweet Potato Puree is a great ingredient for baked goods like these sweet potato brownies and these healthy sweet potato pancakes!
Why Should I Make Sweet Potato Pancakes?
They are easy.
The fact that you can mix eggs, flour, and sweet potato puree together to make delicious and healthy pancake recipe, still blows my mind sometimes.
You can puree your own sweet potato (learn how to HERE) or you can buy pureed sweet potatoes at the store, they will both work just fine!
They are healthy.
These sweet potato pancakes are my favorite healthy pancakes so far on FFF. We all know I’ve had quite a few pancakes in my day. They are perfect for a lazy Sunday morning or for a meal prep breakfast for the week.
You can meal prep them.
If you’ve never meal-prepped pancakes, it’s amazing. All you do is make a batch or two of pancakes, let them cool, then throw them in a freezer safe bag for later.
When you’re feeling like pancakes on a weekday morning, all you have to do is throw them in a toaster and BAM. Pancakes.
You can top them.
I love to serve these sweet potato pancakes with a little bit of almond butter and maple syrup, but if you’re craving savory breakfast, try serving them with a fried egg. YUM.
here’s a tip
Do you have left over sweet potatoes or sweet potato puree? Feel free to freeze it for later! All you have to do is let the sweet potatoes cool completely before purring them in a freezer safe container and then placing them in the freezer.
They will last up to 3 months in the freezer!
