    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 2 large eggs, beaten

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
    • Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, butter and brown sugar.
    • Whisk just until combined.
    • Fold in sweet potatoes.
