Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potato (or substitute with apples)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk (or plant-based alternative)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or coconut oil for frying)
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Alternatively, core the apples and slice into 1/4-inch thick rings, keeping the skin on if preferred.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, and add 1 tablespoon of butter or coconut oil to coat the surface.
Step 4
Dip each sweet potato slice (or apple ring) into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated. Let excess mixture drip off.
Step 5
Place the coated slices onto the hot skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side for sweet potatoes, or 1-2 minutes per side for apples, until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Step 6
Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 7
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired. Sweet potatoes pair beautifully with a dollop of Greek yogurt, while apples shine with a touch of nut butter.
