My husband suffers from a rare bone disease, called Trevor disease. It is a rare disease that effects the right side of the body in the shoulder, hip, knee and/or the ankle. My husband has it in three of the four places that is known to effect the body. It has caused the bones where his hip socket should be, to close and push his femur out of the socket. He had a hip replacement In July of 2013 and the extensive surgery caused him to be on extended bed rest. The recovery was long, but he's been able to get back to work and he's more active then he's ever been. He is now trying to lose the extra weight from being so inactive for so long. We all have changed our eating habits and I started experimenting with recipes.
Here's my recipe for sweet potato pancakes and here is what you'll need:
2 Large sweet potatoes
2 eggs
1/2 cup of oats (Steal cut or old fashioned) If you use the old fashioned you will not need to cook them.
1/8 cup of unsweetened cashew milk (Or any milk of your choosing)
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Optional -1 teaspoon of Cinnamon and nutmeg (or as much as you want)
4 1/2 TBS of Coconut oil
1 fresh plum
This serves between 2-4
Boil 2 large sweet potatoes until they are soft enough to mash.
In a bowl mix 2 eggs, vanilla extract, cashew milk and seasonings if you choose to use cinnamon and nutmeg then mix in the oats.
Then add the mixture to the mashed sweet potatoes.
Heat a pan on medium heat and instead of butter use 2 TBS of coconut oil to the pan.
Using a large Spoon, scoop the batter into the pan.
Cook the pancakes 3-5 minutes on each side. Try using 2 spatulas when you flip the pancakes, because they can fall apart easily.
Core a plum and warm them in a pan with another 2 and a half TBS of coconut oil. If you want you can season them with cinnamon and nutmeg as well.
When they are soft top the pancakes with them. Also drizzle the coconut oil the plums were in over the top of the pancakes instead of syrup.
Enjoy!!!
