Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized sweet potato
• 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 large egg
• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup fat-free plain yogurt

Method

1. Puncture the sweet potato several times with a fork. Wrap it in a paper
towel and microwave it for 5 minutes on high. Run it under cool water and
then remove the skin with a knife.
2. Blend the oats until they are a powder and dump into a bowl. Blend the
sweet potato until smooth and place it into the bowl with the oats. Stir in the
egg, egg whites, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and yogurt. Mix well until it
forms a smooth batter.
3. Coat a pan with cooking spray and wipe away the excess with a paper
towel. Save this for wiping the pan after cooking each pancake. Heat the pan
on medium-low heat.
4. Spoon about 1/2 cup of batter into the pan and cook for 1 – 2 minutes or
until golden brown. Flip the pancake and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute or
until golden brown and firm. Put the pancake on a plate and wipe the pan
with the paper towel.
5. Repeat step 4 with the rest of the batter.
