Spiced Savory Sweet Potato Buckwheat Pancakes

Posted: February 11, 2025 by sasha nelson

I made these on a whim last week based on what I had on-hand – they turned out so delicious I ended up making them twice in a row, and plan to make them again this week 🙂

The salad is something I make often depending on seasonal greens – the one in this photo is mâche and thinly sliced carrot in a dressing of olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, mustard, lime, salt and pepper. I usually top salads with toasted sunflower or pumpkin seeds.

My favorite Ayurvedic spices and curry mixes can be found on Chandika or Divya’s.
