Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe Makes Quick Make- Ahead Breakfast

In the mornings, you need breakfast to start the day but who has the time? This is one of the best pancake recipes ever.  You must try my easy Sweet Potato Pancakes recipe from my best selling cancer cookbook, Eating Well Through Cancer. This book contains simple recipes for quick healthy meals.  These healthy Sweet Potato Pancakes recipe is also diabetic-friendly.  Fast with a shortcut of canned yams and Bisquick, this is my favorite of Bisquick Pancake recipes. Yam Pancakes known as Louisiana Sweet Potato Pancakes have a naturally sweet flavor.

Easy Sweet Potato Pancakes Quickly Won Me Over

I actually was looking up sweet potato pancake recipes in all my cookbooks and I found one in Too Hot in the Kitchen cookbook.  Looked absolutely delicious. However, it was with lots of ingredients so I took a quick look in my cancer cookbook to find my recipe for Yam Pancakes. When I saw how simple it was and I had most of the ingredients, I definitely decided on the quick healthy sweet potato pancakes recipe!

Best Make Ahead Breakfast – My Best Pancakes Recipe Freezes Well

This recipe makes a lot of pancakes but that’s a good thing! I freeze them in a zip-lock plastic bag and pull out every morning for breakfast.  I heat the pancakes up in the microwave for about 30 seconds-1 minute. To freeze:  I flash freeze on a baking sheet by laying them all over the pan.  When frozen, I put them in the freezer zip-top bag and this way they don’t stick together. You can pull out however many you want to eat that morning.

Healthy Sweet Potato Pancakes Recipe Simple To Make

By starting with Bisquick, you save so many steps.  You’ll love the flavor the sweet potato adds to the pancakes.  With a little cinnamon, eggs, oil and vanilla, you whip up the pancake batter quickly in one bowl. I really like the flavor the mashed sweet potatoes add to the pancakes.  Louisiana sweet potato pancakes are the best! You will find Bisquick Pancake recipes but this one is also diabetic!

Eating Well Through Cancer Best Easy Healthy Cookbook with Everyday Ingredients

My cookbook Eating Well Through Cancer is divided into chapter to help a person going through cancer treatment to find the foods best tolerated during treatment.  However, the book contains healthy, everyday recipes that the entire family will enjoy. Since I have been going through cancer treatment myself, I have used the cancer book as a patient.  This new perspective shows me that the book contains truly my favorite recipes.  These delicious Yamcakes have been my new favorite breakfast.

Cook Easy Sweet Potato Pancakes On Nonstick Griddle Pan

Whether you’re making pancakes or even burgers, a nonstick griddle pan makes a good choice of cookware to have on hand.  Honestly, it really makes cooking pancakes like these Yam Cakes or my Oatmeal Pancakes easier and I like this size pan.  Once you have a griddle pan, I promise you’ll find all kinds of uses for it.  Any brand works but I like a nonstick and about this size because it covers the burner to help cook evenly.

What Makes the Best Pancakes Recipe?

I think flavor, simplicity and health determine the best pancakes recipe. You’ll enjoy how easy these pancakes are to make with the two shortcuts of Bisquick and canned yams.  However, if you have leftover baked sweet potatoes, here’s an easy sweet potato recipe for the leftovers.  Just like my Oatmeal Pancakes, I try to give you simple healthy breakfast recipe. Both recipes include nutritional information and are diabetic friendly. Start you day with a delicious and healthy breakfast!
