    Instructions

    • 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.

      My girls and I are eating these now. These are SO delicious. I did add a shake of ground nutmeg along with the cinnamon. We'll be making these again. Thank you!
