Hi- just wondered could you use butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes?

 

[StaceyUK]

Oooh...interesting idea! I never thought of that! I don't see why not though the only possible complication could be that once cooked and blitzed, BNS would be waterier than sweet potato. No harm in trying it though!

You would have to experiment and maybe use less yogurt and less BNS to cut down on the liquid.

Yeah good point- I'm just been tight cos I've got some leftover in my fridge lol.

 

[StaceyUK]

I say go for it. You never know! Just don't let it put you off trying them again (with sweet potato) if it doesn't turn out with BNS!

Thankyou for these - they were lovely! Had a pre pancake day practise whilst hubby was out just to try them out - made up half the amount and had with maple syrup, and topped with the leftover yoghurt and a dusting of cinnamon. We wont be having them tonight - I'm at slimming world, hubbys at a football match, and there's no way I'm getting the frying pan out at 9:30 at night - it will have to wait til tomorrow.

I posted on my facebook status I'd made pancakes out of sweet potatoes - which resulted in a lot of "eeewww!" type comments.

Dont knock it til you've tried it I say

[StaceyUK]

Bumping this because it is similar to a recipe that was on Lorraine this morning

 

[cupofteapet]

and they are so yummy with fresh fruit on top too!

These sound brilliant - I'm def trying these tonight!!!!

I meant to pre-make some oats & yoghurt to make the magic pancakes but completely forgot - I like the idea of the sweet potato

These sound amazing, honey and cinnamon mmm

These are surprisingly good and with a little pat of margarine & maple syrup (count the syns! Maple syrup: 1 tbsp = 2 syns) they are very passable as proper pancakes. You have to like sweet potatoes though! These would also be great with some fresh fruit on top and sweetened yogurt poured over for breakfast with a twist!

Makes 6 pancakes
2 pancakes = 1 HEX B and 1/2 syn

Ingredients:

225g sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
84g oats
2 eggs
1 tsp cinnamon
1.5 tsp honey (optional - I tried with and without and both were good!)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pot Vanilla Muller Light
2 tbsp Splenda

1) Put the sweet potato in a microwaveable bowl. Add about 2 tbsp water, cover and microwave for 5-6 mins until tender.

2) Put all the ingredients in a food processor and blitz. If the mixture is too thick, add a little milk or water but it should be quite thick, though pourable.

3) Heat a non stick frying pan sprayed with butter Frylight and spoon batter onto it (I used a 1/4 cup sized measuring cup to measure out the batter - this made about 6.5 pancakes). Cook for 3 mins on each side or until golden.

Bump!

I've seen this recipe on various sites and never plucked up the courage to try it, but I have now and I have to say I was really surprised how nice they were. I made just enough for 1 person and used my hexb oats and didn't use any syns.
