These sweet potato pancakes for baby are quick and easy to make and perfectly soft and fluffy. Great for toddlers too, they are freezer friendly and full of healthy ingredients.

Ingredients 

  • 1/2 cup white whole wheat flour (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup sweet potato puree (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup small curd cottage cheese, or full-fat Greek yogurt (see notes)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • cooking spray or oil

Instructions 

  • In a medium bowl, add in all of the ingredients and stir until combined. If using cottage cheese, the batter will have chunks in it.

For small pancakes add 1 tablespoon of batter to the skillet at a time and let cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden on the bottom and bubbles appear along the edges.

Note on Flour: you can use whole wheat, white whole wheat, all-purpose or gluten-free flour.
