“Ah, the humble sweet potato. Who would’ve thought it could be used to make a scrumptious crumpet? These plant-based crumpets are an easy alternative to traditional crumpets, which is why they’re a standard Saturday morning breakfast in my home.”

Ingredients

Method
  • 1 medium Kara orange sweet potato (220 g))
  • ½ cup plant milk of choice
  • 1 t maple syrup
  • ½ t vanilla extract
  • ½ t ground cinnamon
  • 120 g flour
  • coconut oil, for frying

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Roast the sweet potato for 30–45 minutes, or until soft. Allow to cool.

2. Blend all the ingredients except the flour until smooth. Pour the mixture into a mixing bowl and slowly fold in the flour.

3. Drizzle a touch of coconut oil into a pan (you really don’t want a lot here). Dollop the mixture into the pan and spread to your desired size. Only turn once you can see or feel the bottom turn thick and solid.

Cook’s note: These are best served with your nut butter of choice, berries and banana, or even your favourite vegan ice cream.
