Any day that allows you to have breakfast for dinner (brinner?) is a great day, all the better when kids get to help out with pancakes on Pancake Tuesday. But sometimes the same old recipes get a bit tired, and we want to make sure our kids are getting some nutrients and vitamins as well as the joy from pancakes this year.
These recipes all have a hint of hidden goodness while keeping in the fun pancake form. If you’re brave enough to try them out, make sure you share your photos with us on Instagram.
Sweet potato pancakes
Ingredients:
2 sweet potatoes
2 eggs
Pinch cinnamon
Pinch nutmeg
Method: Pierce skin of sweet potatoes and microwave for about five minutes, or until inner flesh is soft. Leave to cool for about ten minutes. Then, remove the skins and mash the potatoes together with the eggs until batter forms.
Fry in a little bit of cooking oil (coconut oil gives a nice accompanying flavour for sweet potato!). Serve with berry compote and greek yoghurt and a smidge of honey!
