Moist sweet potato pancakes are soon to be one of your family favorites. They are amazing, topped with cinnamon syrup. I will have to get you the recipe for the cinnamon syrup.
My neighbor went to the Pancake Factory and she told me that she had sweet potato pancakes, and I thought, everyone needs this recipe because they are soo wonderful.
So I haven’t had a stove for over a week and I was so excited to make these amazing moist sweet potato pancakes, in fact I was so happy to eat anything that wasn’t fast food. However, I must say that I was happy to have fast food because we had a man painting our cupboards and everything in the kitchen was covered up. I am so grateful for all of my amazing kitchen gadgets, a fridge with water, stove, and the micro wave. I am very blessed and very grateful!

What a super fun fall breakfast idea!
Thank you. These pancakes are sooo delicious. It is always fun to do something a little different.
I really enjoy sweet potatoes, but have never had them in pancakes before! Sounds wonderful.
They are as long as you let them cook through nice and slow.
