0 In a large bowl, combine the the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk together before setting aside.
1 In a smaller bowl or in a large liquid measuring cup, combine the sweet potato puree, milk, egg, vanilla extract, oil and maple syrup. Whisk until smooth. (You may use a fork to mix them together if that's easier.)
2 Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Slowly stir together with a rubber spatula, mixing until just combined. (It's OK if there are lumps!) Do not overmix, as the pancakes will not be as fluffy if you do.
3 Heat a griddle over medium heat on the stove. Spray with nonstick cooking spray or brush a little butter or oil over it to grease it. This will ensure the pancakes don't stick.
4 Once pan has warmed, pour the batter into silver dollar sized pancakes. Sprinkle a few chopped pecans over the formed batter.
5 Cook until bubbles appear on the surfaces of the pancakes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the other side has browned and the pancakes have cooked through.
6 Using a spatula, transfer the pancakes off the heat to your plate. Serve warm with syrup, and enjoy!
