Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the sweet potato puree, milk, and egg until smooth. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes. This helps make the pancakes fluffier.
  5. Heat a lightly buttered griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like butter, maple syrup, and toasted pecans.

Notes

Do Not Overmix: Mix only until the flour is just incorporated. Lumps are good for fluffy pancakes!
Let it Rest: Don't skip the resting step! It makes a noticeable difference in the texture.
Storage: Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
