This tower of sweet, fluffy pancakes is stacked with flavour and makes a delicious vegan breakfast.

The sweet potato and buckwheat pancakes are naturally flavoured with sweet maple syrup and a dash of mixed spice for a taste sensation.

With a wholesome and comforting topping of fresh strawberries and maple syrup, this delicious vegan recipe can’t be missed!

A healthy pancake option

The mixture of sweet potato and buckwheat flour means these pancakes are packed with complex carbohydrates. They’ll therefore provide lots of slow-release energy to keep you going all morning.

And, these vegan sweet potato pancakes are also suitable for gluten-free diets.

Even the maple syrup in this recipe has its benefits as, despite its high sugar level, it’s lower in carbohydrates than some other sweet syrups and offers some antioxidants, particularly in darker maple syrups.

Plus, strawberries are a brilliant source of vitamins, fibre, and antioxidants.

Recipe tip:

With a larger frying pan, you can speed up the cooking process by frying 4-6 pancakes at a time. Just make sure each tablespoon of batter has plenty of space so they don’t stick together into one large pancake!
