Sweet Potatoes with Apples and Cranberries

1.) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2.) Peel and chop 5-6 medium sweet potatoes and 1 large, tart apple.

3.) Toss them together with:
1/2 cup dried, sweetened cranberries
1/4 cup of water
1/4 cup of molasses
1 tablespoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon Chili powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke

4.) Put the mixture in a baking pan (I used 9" x 13") covered with foil and bake for 35 minutes.

I thought this was delicious hot or cold.

Pumpkin Spice Pancakes

Another fat free pancake recipe. I made these for breakfast this morning. Seasonal and very delicious, especially with apple butter and maple syrup. 

Wet Ingredients: 

1.5 cups almond milk
1 cup pumpkin purée
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 tbsp honey 
2 teaspoons flaxseed meal and 1/4 cup hot water (mix together first, then add to the rest of the wet ingredient mixture.) 

Dry Ingredients: 

1 cup whole wheat flour 
1 cup all purpose flour 
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt 
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1.) Mix the wet and dry ingredients separately, then together. 

2.) Cook a few minutes per side in a frying pan or on a griddle on low heat using spray canola oil. (Or just use a non-stick pan if you want to be totally fat free.)
