Sweet Potato Cakes

Makes approx. 6-8 cakes 

Ingredients: sweet potato, egg, cinnamon, coconut flour, coconut oil, and ghee/butter

 Combine: 

• 1 medium-sized grated sweet potato*

• an egg {or 2 if batter seems dry}

• 1-2 tsp cinnamon {optional, but enhances the sweetness of the sweet potato}

• 2 tsp coconut flour 

Shape into flat circles then cook in a skillet on medium in a mixture of coconut oil and ghee {or butter} till crispy on both sides, approx. 4 minutes or less.** Then bake on a small baking sheet in the toaster oven {or regular oven} for 7-10 minutes at 350 degrees or until sweet potato is fully cooked through. Then eat just as is or top with whatever your heart desires.♥ The picture above is topped w/ banana, coconut milk, coconut shreds, and cacao nibs!

This was the final result of my breakfast:) Two sunny side-up eggs w/ sweet potato cakes, avocado, and sautéed mushrooms and broccoli.

*Any size shreds work, but depending on size of shreds cooking times may vary

**Do not worry if they start to fall apart when you put them on the skillet, just try your best.  Once you start cooking them they will stay together better.
