Method
 

Sweet Potato Prep
  1. Wash a sweet potato. Poke several holes in it with a fork.
  2. Wrap potato in a paper towel & microwave for 3-4 minutes or until soft to touch.
  3. Peel and remove the skin. Careful! Use a dry paper towel to hold the potato while it's still hot! OR- microwave ahead of time, cool, and peel when ready.
Paleo Pancake
  1. In a bowl, mash the sweet potato (or banana) with a fork until well mashed. Crack in 2 eggs and mix all together. Add optional flavors like cinnamon, vanilla, etc.
  2. Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add mixture to the skillet. Smooth the mixture evenly into skillet to create one large pancake.
  4. Cook about 2 minutes until cooking side of pancake loosens easily from pan when lifted with a spatula and is light brown.
  5. Flip with a large spatula, or try your best pan flip! (I've had many scrambled pancakes before I perfected my pan flip!)
  6. Cook 2nd side for about 1 minute.
  7. Remove from heat, plate, and add your wholesome toppings to your paleo pancake!
