Well...since I knew we were planning on having pancakes for dinner last night (who doesn't love "breakfast for dinner??":) anndddd since I had a leftover can of sweet potatoes in the fridge from my Wednesday morning oatmeal....I figured, why not put 2 + 2 together??? And wallah...dinner was served! :)
After a quick search online, I found a recipe from the Food Network. I used:
- 1 cup White Flour
- 1 cup Multigrain Trader Joe's Baking Mix (we didn't have wheat flour, so I made this swap)
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
- 3/4 can sweet potato pieces (mashed)
- 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk (35 calories a cup vs. 86 for 1% milk)
- 4 teaspoons melted butter
- 2 eggs
- Vanilla
- Cinnamon (lots!)
- 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (or more;)
Mix it all together and cook like normal pancakes. This recipe made about 8 large 'cakes! But the BESTTTTT part of this recipe was the Toasted. Pecan. butter...
Oh yeahhhhhhhhhh.....
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped, toasted &cooled
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
Which = pretty much every ingredient that I truly love;) hahahahahahhaahaha....And the butter just left a trail of cinnamon flavored pecans in it's brown sugar & cinnamon wake....
SO GOOD!! And perfectly studded with sweet potato bites;)
This was one good breakfast dinner! I highly suggest breakin this one out for the upcoming weekend! And repeat after me: Do NOT skip the butter! :)
And to work off the butter, my work out round up consisted of:
Friday Morning: Yoga/Pilates DVD with hand weights (LOVE this DVD!)
In other news, it's Friday which means it's Ekat's potluck party! Erin graciously added my tamales to her picks from last week...and I decided to toss in our "Chicago style Deep Dish Pizza" for this week's 'lock...
Hope you guys have a great FRIDAY! I'm heading to Trader Joe's this afternoon to pick out of dinner for tonight:) What to get, what to get?
