    Ok ok ok, these taste awesome. So tasty, so very. very. tasty.

    I don't know the macros on these but they're really tasty.

    2 Scoops Vanilla Protein (I used Isopure 0 Carbs)
    1lb Sweet Potato
    3 whole eggs
    2/3 cups skim milk
    Cinnamon, nutmeg to taste

    It sounds simple but it took me awhile to get it right and could still use a tweak somewhere so any ideas are welcome.

    Poke some holes in the sweet potatos and microwave them (I don't know how big sweet potatos are but I only used 1 whole 1lb Batata and it took 8 min in the micro wrapped in papertowel and left to sit 5 min more)

    I just threw all these ingredients (potato was actually Batata but its the same thing for all practical purposes) in a little food processor I have until I had that semi pancaky consistency.

    My problem started with the size of these guys, if I made them to big, flippage was too difficult, but another egg, less milk and double the potato later I'm up to a 5x5 pancake.

    These get a nice toasty edge when done right.

    So the trick to an effective flip is cooking at around #3 or 4 and waiting until the top orange color has completely muted into a lighter orange-yellow (I cover them to help) when u do get a successful flip they plump up really nicely.

    When I was putting everything away I realized we hadn't even put any syrup on them :) thats how tasty they are lol.

    I need ppl to experiment with this please, because size wise at the moment I don't think they're practical enough. For me it's cool but I have to make Diri like 10 of these lol I'm thinking maybe a casein protein might be a better binder.

    note: don't expect these guys to bubble like pancakes cause they don't.

    Are you pre-cooking the sweet potatoes to soften them up?

    Waaa Laa! They don't look as appetizing as they are and I sort of overtoasted one but here's a pic anyway lol. You can make them bigger but I like this size as finger food and without syrup
