| * 1 cup | Water |
| * 1/2 cup | Sweet potato puree |
| * 1/4 tsp. | Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice (optional) |
| * 1 cup | Pancake mix |
| | * Nonstick cooking spray |
| * 1 tbsp. | Canola or vegetable oil |
| | * Pure maple syrup, for serving |
In a large bowl, mix the water, sweet potato puree, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, if using. Add the pancake mix and stir just to combine—the batter should be lumpy.
Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the oil, and spoon the batter onto the griddle or pan, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake.
Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the batter is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Then use a spatula to flip the pancakes and cook them until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
