Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 eggs
• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 egg white
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (Optional)
• 1 (1 pound) sweet potato
• 1 tablespoon dark molasses (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pierce the sweet potato a few times with a fork. Wrap in a paper towel and cook in the microwave for 5 minutes at full power, or until tender. Cool slightly, and remove the skin with a small knife.

Step 2

Meanwhile, process the oats in a blender or food processor until powdery. Transfer the oats to a large bowl. Break the sweet potato into chunks, and place in the food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer to the bowl with the oats, and stir in the olive oil, molasses, eggs, egg white, vanilla, cinnamon and yogurt. Adjust the thickness to your liking by adding more yogurt if necessary.

Step 3

Heat a lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet when hot, and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip, and cook on the other side until browned. Continue with remaining batter.
