Sweet Potato Pancakes with Bacon

I’ve realized that one cannot go wrong with pancakes for breakfast… or for any other meal for that matter. There are so many different types: low- or high-carb, high in protein, fruity, chocolate, savory, nut butter, and plain but NEVER boring.

A blender is not absolutely necessary to make these but I prefer using one to ensure that the batter is smooth. Using a blender also adds extra air into the batter, which makes it nice and fluffy!

Instead of topping the pancakes with a sugary syrup, opt for a couple of strips of crumbled bacon to make yourself a savory and lower carb treat. Crunchy bacon is delicious compliment to the naturally sweet potatoes.
