If you are already thinking ahead to recipes you can make with Thanksgiving leftovers, these sweet potato pancakes have tomorrow covered. From How Sweet It Is, this recipe for Buttermilk Sweet Potato Pancakes with Coconut Whipped Cream gives you another thing to be thankful for.
The fluffy and slightly sweet pancakes are topped with coconut cream and toasted coconut chunks. Since the flapjacks are made with a vegetable, you don't need to feel guilty about eating a kajillion either. In addition to serving with maple syrup, the recipe also calls for fun fall flavors like cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.
For bonus points, if you still have leftover whipped sweet potatoes post pancakes, you can use them to make sweet potato biscuits (another recipe from How Sweet It Is).
