Sweet potato pancakes

Ingredients:

1 (1 pound) sweet potato
2 cups rolled oats
2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)
1 tablespoon dark molasses (optional)
4 eggs
1 egg white
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup plain yogurt

Directions:

1. Pierce the sweet potato a few times with a fork. Wrap in a paper towel and cook in the microwave until tender. Cool slightly and remove the skin.
2. Process the oats in a blender or food processor until powdery and then place in a large bowl. Break the sweet potato into chunks and place in the food processor until smooth. Transfer to the bowl with the oats and stir in the olive oil, molasses, eggs, egg white, vanilla, cinnamon and yogurt. Adjust the thickness to your liking by adding more yogurt if necessary.
3. On a hot skillet that is lightly greased, pour 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto the skillet when hot and cook until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip, and cook on the other side until browned. Enjoy!"
