Ingredients
For the smashed avocado edamame spread
- 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame thawed
- 1 large avocado
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt + more to taste
- 2-3 tbsp water
For the pancakes
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 cups full fat unsweetened coconut milk*
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp miso paste
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2-3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- To make the avocado edamame guacamole, add all ingredients and 2 tbsp water in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth. If the mixture seems dry, add in more water 1 tbsp a a time until the desired consistency is reached. Taste for salt and add more as needed.
- For the pancakes, whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine coconut milk, sweet potato, maple syrup, miso, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil and a 1/2 cup water.
- Combine the wet with the dry ingredients along with the chopped scallions, folding until just combined. If the mixture seems too thick add another 1/4 cup water. Careful not to overmix.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and add oil. Scoop about a 1/2 cup of batter into the pan and cook until golden brown before using a rubber spatula to flip and cook on the other side. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve right away with avocado edamame guacamole.
Notes
* I recomend using a can of shaken room temperature coconut milk. This allows the water and cream to homogenize, making for easy pouring.
