A staple

As promised... the sweet potato pancake recipe. You may already have it... but have you tried it? These pancakes are a staple for me. I eat a couple for breakfast sometimes, but I also grab one here and there as a snack. Yummy!

I prefer making them with sweet potatoes and vanilla protein powder, but that's just me. And I like cutting down on the Splenda and adding several drops of french vanilla flavoured Stevia instead (I found it at Save-on-Foods).

Add up all the calories in the ingredients and divide by how many pancakes you make, to get the calories per pancake.

Sweet Potato Pancake
2 cups of cooked mashed yam or sweet potato (canned pumpkin can also be used)
500ml of egg whites (large container) or two small 250ml containers
1 cup oatmeal (any kind)
5 scoops of Protein Powder (vanilla, white chocolate, strawberry, caramel)
1 tsp salt
¼ cup of artificial sugar (brown sweetener works well)
May add cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves to taste.

Measure out 1/3 cup batter onto hot pan. Cook slowly (5-10 minutes) on both sides. Makes about 20 pancakes. Can be frozen. Store in refrigerator. Great reheated in toaster.
