Ingredients

  • 3 Weet-Bix™, finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup wholemeal flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup mashed or pureed sweet potato
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup So Good™ milk

Method

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together mashed sweet potato, eggs, and So Good milk. Add Weet-Bix, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon, and stir well to combine. Set aside for 5 mins to thicken.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a non-stick pan or griddle to medium, spray or wipe with a small amount of oil. Scoop generous tablespoons of batter onto hot pan, and cook pancakes 2 - 3 mins each side until golden. Repeat to make approximately 24 pikelets.

  3. Step 3

    Serve warm or at room temperature. The pikelets are perfect on their own, with yoghurt and fresh berries, or with hummus and avocado.

Tips

  • Mash can be made using steamed or roasted sweet potato. Last night’s dinner leftovers are perfect for this recipe.
  • Add an extra tablespoon or two of milk to thin batter if necessary – consistency can depend on the moisture in your sweet potato mash!
