Let’s say hypothetically, you win a contest put on by a red-headed Mexican blogger (I think they’re almost extinct) for some elusive Trader Joe’s Peanut Flour. Now what? What should you do with it? You should choose your recipes wisely, since it is going the way of the African Lion and red-headed Mexican… Peanut Flour will soon be extinct 
Well, one suggestion is to make my Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes!
I microwaved a sweet potato to go with dinner the other night, but opted to gorge myself on tortilla chips instead (hey, when you have ripe avocados around you have to do what you have to do). So I happened to have one begging to be eaten. Mission accomplished.
Sweet Potato Pancakes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato
1/3 cup egg beaters or 2 eggs
1/4 cup peanut flour (you can use any kind of flour you want)
1/8 tsp baking soda and baking powder (I always use both)
1 tsp sugar or sugar substitute of your choice (don’t skip this or they’ll be as bitter as me when my blog is down)
dash salt and even bigger dash of cinnamon
opt. if the batter is too thick add some milk of your choice
Directions: Mix well, make sure all the sweet potato is mashed. The batter is pretty thick so I spread it out when I scoop them on the hot skillet. Cook as you would normal pancakes. They don’t “bubble” like normal pancakes, so watch that they are cook thoroughly, but not burned. 
Wa-la! Delicious Sweet Potato Protein Pancakes! These pancakes are gluten-free and high in protein, if you’re in to that sort of thing.
I topped mine with Syrup and Peanut Butter. I don’t think the peanut flour makes them taste that peanut butter-y so it’s necessary.
I’m all backwards today because I ran/walked with Ben for 18 minutes for his C25K schedule. But I have to do my 3 miler today. It’s my last run before the Surf City half this weekend. But, I’m not used to running after breakfast, wish me luck!
Anyone else racing this weekend?
Plans for the Super Bowl?
I plan on running and then eating pizza at a Super Party. After I did Surf City year before last I enjoyed Pizza and chips and margaritas… good times.
Updated to add: If you see me at the expo or race please say “Hi!”. I would love to meet ya!
These are The Best Thing on the Planet ⭐️
I just made a batch and Devoured it All. They are Aaaaaah~Mazing!!!!! I did sub out PB2 for the peanut flour and added a tbl-spoonish of vanilla extract. And maybe it’s the PB2 powder but these pancakes bubbled just like normal ones.
This is Definitely going in my Favorites file. Thank You!!!!!
Oooooh this looks scrumptious. I love sweet potatoes. What a great new recipe. I can’t wait to try it out!!!!
I just found this recipe! It is just the thing that I was looking for- simple and delicious! I will let you know how mine turn out!
Made these for pre workout meal on Sunday. Did 1/2 pumpkin and 1/2 sweet potato. No peanut flour, so used PB2. The PB2 was has sugar and salt so did not add extra. They are great. Will def make again. Thanks for the idea.
Yeah! Thanks for letting me know 🙂

I’d like to try peanut flour….I make a very, very similar pancake but its from http://www.bodyforlife.com with protein powder….spread them with pbutter or agave and almond butter…yummy ! Just found your blog and I am very partial to red heads….I have one!!
Yeah I love BFL pancakes recipes! 🙂
My TJs is already out of peanut flour, so I’d love that bag!
I’m running the half there this weekend too! Should be good running weather!
No race this weekend…just training for the half in June. 🙂 We are going to a friend’s house for Superbowl.
What half are you doing?
The San Diego Rock N Roll!
Ah! I want to do that one, but we have a yearly vacation that weekend and I can’t 🙁
Good luck!!!
i’ve seriously been eating 2 sweet potatoes a day, sliced and baked. i’m thinking it’s time i start using them in other ways, like THESE!
I was just about to eat one for lunch and thought, “Okay, is this a little too much?” Guess not!
Yum! Put sweet potato in anything and I’m sold! I’m racing this weekend, too. Doing the Gridiron Classic 4M jaunt in Central Park. Good luck with your race!
Good luck on your race!
Those pancakes look amazing!! Have an awesome race!!!
Those pancakes look amazing.
I hope you have a great race this weekend. No race plans for me; it’s too cold in Virginia right now! I’m a whimp. I’ll watch the super bowl, but we don’t have any party plans. Besides, my husband is out of town, so it would be strange to have a party without him. However, he is turning 40 tomorrow and I plan on teasing him mercilessly for being so OLD. Ha!
These look delicious! I have been wondering what else I’m going to do with the TJ’s peanut flour. I have a ladies brunch on the 13th … a pre-Valentine’s celebration and I think this would be a perfect dish to serve.
P.S. I’ll be at the Redondo 10k. I’ve done Surf City in the past and it was a great time!
The Redondo 10k was my first race ever!!! But it was before the blog and I have no pics of it. Good Luck!
Great idea! I’m sure I’d burn them, though, without the bubbles.
I didn’t enter the contest specifically because if it’s leaving I don’t want to start liking it!
But those pancakes look amazing. Pancakes are pretty awesome in general 🙂
i hate running after i eat too…good luck in the half.
my mom just bought me 10 (TEN!!) of the PB flours since TJs is going to stop carrying them. sweet tater pancakes may be next on my to-make list!
10 PB flours! The store I went to only had 4 left and I felt like buying them out.
I thought I was your friend? Waah! 🙁
Maybe. I was going to call you…
See you at Surf City, I’m doing the half as well.
That is a HUGE sweet ‘tater! Can you believe I will never get to experience the joy that is TJ’s peanut flour? 🙁
I did the Surf City Marathon last year! Wish I was escaping the Georgia cold this year to run the race! Bummer… At least you’re doing the half and not the full! What a horrible course.
Those pancakes look totally awesome. Do you think you could use ground oats instead of flour? I’m also running a half on Sunday and I’m so excited. Good luck to you!
