Aren’t these pancakes just the best colour? And so tall too! They’re made with sweet potato, self-raising flour, and a special ingredient: Planted Oat Drink with Banana.

If you seek out dairy alternatives, or you just regularly enjoy great tasting, healthy drinks when you’re on the go, then you should definitely look out for Planted when you’re next in the supermarket.

It’s currently available in two delicious flavours; Coconut with Cocoa or Oat with Banana, dairy-free and fortified with calcium (for maintenance of normal teeth & bones), vitamin D (for absorption of calcium & phosphorous) and vitamin B₁₂ (for normal function of the immune system). The Coconut with Cocoa variety is also gluten-free!

You can find them in ASDA stores, priced at £2.20 for a 1L carton, and for every carton sold, 2p will go to the Woodland Trust, the UK’s largest woodland conservation charity.

So let’s make some delicious sweet potato pancakes. They’re quick and easy, dairy and egg free, use simple ingredients, and they’re pretty healthy too!

Ingredients

  • 500g (1 large) sweet potato, peeled and cut into 2-3cm chunks
  • 420ml Planted Oat and Banana Milk
  • 225g self-raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 3 tsp egg replacement powder
  • 2 tbsp oil, to fry

Instructions

Place the sweet potato in a pan of cold water, bring to the boil and cook for 10 minutes until tender, then drain, place in a bowl and mash until smooth (or use a hand blender).

Add the Planted oat drink and whisk well.

Add the flour, egg replacement powder, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda and whisk or blend through.

Add a drizzle of oil to a non-stick pan and warm over a medium heat. Add 2-3 dessertspoonfuls and allow to cook for 1 minute, until the underside if golden and bubbles form on the surface. Flip and fry for a further 30 seconds until golden on both sides.

Repeat until all of the pancakes are cooked, layering on a warm plate, or on a baking tray in a very low oven, then serve piled onto each plate. I recommend serving with a drizzle of your favourite syrup and plenty of fresh fruit.

  2. You know what? I’m not a fan of sweet potato, but I think I’d still give these a try. They look scrummy. I think it’s the colour of them that makes them look so appetizing :)

  26. I love the colour of these. I don’t think I’ve every heard of sweet potato pancakes. It’s great that they are dairy and egg free as I have a couple of friends who are vegan and I always struggle for recipes to cook for them
