Instructions
Make the Orange Infused Maple Syrup
  1. Heat all ingredients in small saucepan and bring to a low boil.
  2. Lower heat and simmer about ten minutes, or longer to get a slightly thicker syrup. You can prepare your pancakes while the syrup simmers.
Make the Pancakes

  1. Stir the sweet potato, milk, coconut oil and maple syrup together in a large mixing bowl.

  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg together in a separate, large mixing bowl.

  3. Add the liquid ingredients to dry. Stir just until blended.

  4. Coat a griddle or nonstick skillet with oil and place it over medium heat.

  5. Pour ⅓ to ½ cup batter onto heated surface. Cook the pancake until browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side, flipping very gently between sides.

  6. Serve with orange-infused maple syrup.
