Ingredients
It’s this easy
- In a large pot, boil sweet potato for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
- Drain water, and mash until smooth.
- Place oats in blender, and blend on high speed until the oats look like flour.
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and stir well to combine.
- Heat a pan over medium heat. Spray with a small amount of olive oil.
- Scoop batter onto the pan into 8 small pikelets, or 4 pancakes. You may need to do multiple batches depending on the size of your pan.
- Once bubbles form, flip the pancakes. When lightly golden around the edges, remove from heat.
- Serve with Chia Berry Jam, and your favourite pancake toppings – yogurt, fresh fruit, or Dorit’s Granola.
Tweaks
- For an extra sweet touch, add 1tbsp maple syrup, or 1tsp of vanilla extract

To reheat: Microwave for 30-60 seconds, wrapped in damp paper towel to prevent from drying out, and serve with your favourite toppings.
