My mother used to make this for me whenever we had sweet potatoes.
My kids love these and they are easy, especially since you make them ready-to-use pancake mix. I always make them whenever we get sweet potatoes.
Microwave the sweet potato and work through Steps 3 and 4 while the water boils, and they'll be done in no time!
The steamed bread is topped with unpeeled and unmixed sweet potatoes, so it has a pretty colour. Recipe by cho.

Steps

1

Dice the sweet potato into 1 cm cubes. Microwave in a heatproof bowl at 500 W for 3 minutes.
2

Pour 1-2 cm of water into your steamer, cover with a lid and turn on the heat.
3

Mix the ingredients marked ★ together in a bowl.
4

Fill aluminium cups with the batter from Step 3 about 60% full, and top with the sweet potato from Step 1. The level of the batter will rise with the extra volume from the sweet potato and will expand when steamed.
5

When the water in the steamer has boiled, add the cups from Step 4 and steam on high heat for 6-7 minutes. They are done when a skewer poked through the middle comes out clean.
