Sweet Potato Pancakes

Breakfast is one of my favorite meals and ever since we started eating Paleo (no grains or legumes) I've been missing pancakes. I have tried a few recipes (pumpkin pancakes, banana pancakes) and they were good but Sam wasn't sold on them.

The other day after a particularly hard workout I just really wanted some nice pancakes so I went to work and combined some of the aspects I liked about the different recipes and came up with a really great recipe. Kellen came to try some and wouldn't leave it alone. He loved them and even Sam said they were the best since we switched to Paleo.
