Vegan Sweet Potato Pancakes
These vegan sweet potato pancakes are so nice and fluffy, and they come together in no time. I used spelt flour, but you could also use all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour for them. They can probably be made gluten free as well: try a blend of oat and teff flours like I did in this pancake recipe.

DIRECTIONS
- Combine the flax and water in a large mixing bow to make the flax egg.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and spices in another large bowl.
- To the flax egg add the soy milk, vinegar, vanilla, sweet potato, and oil and whisk well, until combined.
- Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Preheat a skillet and melt a couple tablespoons of coconut oil on the surface. Ladle some batter onto the skillet (about ½ cup), and fill with as many pancakes as you can comfortably fit. I can do 3 in my skillet.
- Cook on each side on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes. Flip when the center starts to bubble. Place cooked pancakes onto a clean plate which you can keep warm in the oven at its lowest setting.
- Complete with the remaining batter.
- To serve top the pancakes with maple syrup, vegan tempeh bacon, toasted coconut, nuts or seeds.
