Sweet Potato Pancakes - grain free!

Honestly, these pancakes could not be easier.  They only have TWO ingredients!  I've been seeing recipes like this around the internet and thought I'd have to give it a try.  Yes, it really is that easy. I like sweet potatoes for their nutritional profile and high fibre content.  They provide a serious amount of vitamin A as well as a whole range of minerals.  The eggs provide protein to keep you feeling full well into the morning.

Consider baking a couple of sweet potatoes on Sunday evening and then keep them in the fridge wrapped in foil.
