Sweet Potato Blender Pancakes

Awhile ago in our Bountiful Basket we got sweet potatoes.  My kids aren’t too sure about them yet, so I ended up roasting them, pureeing them and freezing them to hide in other recipes.  Well, these were one of those recipes.  The original recipe calls for pancake mix, but since I really love my blender pancakes, I mixed the two recipes.

Blender Sweet Potato Pancakes

• 1 Cup Milk
• 1 Cup Wheat Kernels, whole and uncooked
• 2 Eggs
• 2 tsp Baking Powder
• 1-1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp. Oil
• 2 Tbsp Honey or Sugar
• 1-1/2 tsp Cinnamon
• 1/2 Cup Sweet Potato Puree

Put milk and wheat kernels in blender.  Blend on highest speed for 4-5 minutes or until batter is smooth.  Add eggs, oil, baking powder, salt, honey or sugar, cinnamon and sweet potato puree to above batter.  Blend on low.  Pour out batter into pancakes from the actual blender jar (only one thing to wash!) onto a hot greased griddle or frying pan.  Cook; flipping pancakes when bubbles pop and create holes.

Verdict:  I can’t believe how well this went.  My daughter thought I was making pumpkin pancakes, even though I’ve never made pumpkin pancakes.  We served this with bacon, eggs and hashbrowns and only one pancake was left at the end of the night for their dad who couldn’t make it to dinner with us.
