Ingredients
1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes1/4 cup plain reduced-fat Greek style yogurt1 tbsp sugar-free pancake syrup3 tbsp plus 1 tsp olive oil2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tbsp light brown sugar1/4 tsp ground ginger2 1/2 tsp baking powder1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice1/2 tsp salt1/4 cup fat-free milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Combine the potatoes, yogurt, syrup and olive oil in a medium bowl until well mixed.

Whisk together the flour, sugar, ginger, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a large bowl. Alternating, stir in sweet potato mixture, then milk, until dry ingredients are just moistened. Do not over mix, dough will be soft.

Drop by large heaping spoonfuls (approximately 2 tablespoons) onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake until just golden (approximately 12 to 14 minutes). Serve warm or at room temperature.

Test Kitchen Tip: One large sweet potato (about 3/4 pound), peeled and cooked, will yield about 1 cup mashed.
