Why This Recipe Is So Enjoyable
These pancakes are a delicious way to start your day with a boost of nutrients. The natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes adds moisture and flavor, making each bite soft and satisfying. They are a great twist on a classic breakfast favorite that feels both comforting and wholesome.
Step 1
In a big bowl, combine the baking mix, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, mashed sweet potatoes, white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until smooth. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry, mixing just until everything comes together into a batter.
Step 2
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in just enough oil to lightly coat the surface. Once the oil is hot, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, being careful not to crowd them.
Step 3
Cook the pancakes for about 3 to 5 minutes on each side, until they’re golden brown and cooked through. Keep going until you’ve used up all the batter, adding a little more oil to the skillet if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh pumpkin instead of sweet potatoes?
Fresh pumpkin can be used but might require adjusting the moisture since it’s less dense than sweet potatoes.
What can I substitute for baking mix?
You can use 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour plus 1 tablespoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt as a substitute.
How do I store leftover pancakes?
Store cooled pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Can I make the batter ahead of time?
It’s best to cook the pancakes right after mixing, as the batter can thicken and lose fluffiness if left too long.
What if I don’t have pumpkin pie spice?
You can substitute with a mix of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves to taste.
How do I know when the pancakes are done cooking?
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Can I use a non-dairy milk instead of regular milk?
Yes, almond, soy, or oat milk work well as substitutes in this recipe.
Is it possible to make these pancakes gluten-free?
Use a gluten-free baking mix labeled for pancakes to make a gluten-free version.
