Sweet Potato Pancakes with Coconut Yogurt

These sweet potato pancakes are a hearty and delicious way to start your day. They're made with grated sweet potatoes, eggs, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. The pancakes are cooked in a skillet until they're golden brown and cooked through. Serve them topped with coconut yogurt, chopped pecans, and a drizzle of maple syrup, if desired.

Sweet potato pancakes are a classic American breakfast dish. They're typically made with mashed sweet potatoes, flour, eggs, and milk. However, this recipe uses grated sweet potatoes instead of mashed sweet potatoes. This gives the pancakes a lighter and fluffier texture. The almond flour also adds a nutty flavor to the pancakes. These pancakes are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. They're also a healthy and filling breakfast option.
