Oatmeal Purple Sweet Potato Pancakes With Blueberries

1. 1

   ["Preheat oven to 450u00b0. Prick potato all over with a fork, wrap in foil, and bake for 40-60 minutes, until cooked through and very soft when pierced with a fork. (Alternately, pierce and wrap in a paper towels, microwaving for about 5 minutes, flipping it halfway through cooking until completely soft and cooked through. May take shorter or longer depending on microwave and potato size. This is my preferred weekday method.)", "Meanwhile, if using rolled oats, grind in a food processor (my mini works great for this) until powdered. Sift dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Slightly larger bits of oat will remain, add these in after all that can be sifted has been for a slightly more textured pancake; I do.", "In a separate bowl mix sweet potato very thoroughly with the rest of the wet ingredients. The lemon juice will turn the mixture a bright pink when added. This is quite alright, a natural chemical reaction.", "Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat to about 250u00b0 or until droplets of water sizzle and evaporate in the pan. Once hot, reduce heat to medium-low (I fry mine on ""4 out of 10"").", "Mix the wet ingredients into the dry, folding them in with a spatula until just wet and combined. Do not overmix. Lumps are okay. Mix in the berries last or just drop them into the batter as you fry each pancake (the latter produces ""prettier"" results). Thin batter if needed or desired with additional almond milk. I do not find this necessary.", "Spray pan lightly with canola oil, and add batter to the hot pan by the quarter cupful, frying about 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the sides begin to look dry and bubbly, and then fry for about 2-3 minutes on the other side until brown and cooked through. The pancakes will be puffed, crisp and golden on the outside and moist on the inside.", "Top as desired and enjoy perhaps the most antioxidant rich pancake ever created--and they're high-fiber and protein and low sugar and fat! These can also be kept warm in a 180u00b0 oven on a parchment lined sheet pan while frying in batches if need be.", "Topping suggestions: greek yogurt or skyr, agave nectar, fresh berries, toasted walnuts, cinnamon-vanilla butter studded with candied ginger, honey..."]
