Oatmeal purple sweet potato pancakes with blueberries
Pancakes
American cuisine
One fall morning, tousled between the sheets, I lay in bed day dreaming about pancakes. I measured out figments of spicy cinnamon and sifted airy oat flour. I imagined scooping the curious, gem colored flesh out of a steaming, hot Okinawan sweet potato. Ingredients coalesced in my half-waking mind, forming a recipe for a healthy, antioxidant rich, purple pancake batter. I could just see the lavender pancake frying in a vision of hot oil, bubbling and lacy around the edges. <br /> <br />This recipe is one of the final results of that morning reverie coupled with a bit of experimentation. These are the holy grail of healthy pancakes, packed with antioxidants from purple sweet potatoes, blueberries, rolled oats, pure cocoa powder, clove & cinnamon. Plus, they're sugar free and gluten free, clocking in at only 365 calories per 5 quarter cup pancake serving. Most importantly, they are fluffy, delicious, and purple! Topped with thick yogurt (orange-ginger flavored skyr is my favorite...) & agave nectar, these don't taste like a compromise.
