Sweet Potato Pancakes With Caramel Sauce

Submitted by Bonnie G #2

"Another email recipe from Taste of Home that sounds like a great way to use up left overs. Here's what they said: "Sometimes sweet potatoes end up as leftovers, but they go well in pancake batter. Topped with caramel sauce, butter and toasted cashews. Don't have leftovers? Use canned sweet potatoes""

Excellent! These have excellent flavor and are not too dense. I only added cinnamon (personal preference) and 1/2 t. vanilla. I also replaced one cup of the flour with white whole wheat flour. I cooked and mashed a sweet potato, it worked just fine. I think I prefer these to "regular" pancakes! My DH had never had sweet potato pancakes before and was a little skeptical, but he loved these. We had maple syrup instead of the caramel sauce, but I'll keep the sauce in mind for other things. Thanks Bonnie G#2, this is a keeper!
