Make a flax egg by combining the flaxseed and water. Set aside to gel.
Poke a few holes in the sweet potato. Place in microwave and cook for about 5 minutes, or until soft when poked with a fork.
Slice the sweet potato in half, scoop the potato out of the skin (or peel off the skin) and place in a bowl.
Add the flaxseed and mix to combine. It should be mashed potato consistency, not too wet and not too dry.
Heat a skillet over medium heat, lightly grease with coconut, olive, or avocado oil.
Add heaping tablespoons of the batter the skillet, heat through on both sides.
Top pancakes with nuts, syrup, berries and enjoy!
