Ingredients

    1 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes
    1/4 cup plain reduced-fat Greek style yogurt
    1 tbsp sugar-free pancake syrup
    3 tbsp plus 1 tsp olive oil
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 tbsp light brown sugar
    1/4 tsp ground ginger
    2 1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 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.
