Sweet Potato Pancakes: Take 1/2 cup of smashed sweet potato and 2 eggs.

You can eat plain or jazz them up with things like maple syrup, cinnamon, powdered sugar, or sunflower seed butter.

Baked Mango: We've all heard of baked apples. This is the more tropical version! You can either cut your own mango or buy pre-cut chunks in the frozen section of your supermarket (a much easier option). Toss the chunks in cinnamon and vanilla extract. Then layer them in a baking dish that's been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 400F for 8 minutes and you're done!
