Sweet Potato Pancakes

1 c water
1/2 c sweet potato puree
1/4 t cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice (optional)
1 c pancake mix
Nonstick cooking spray
Pure maple syrup , for serving

In a large bowl, mix the water, sweet potato puree, and cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice, if using. Add the pancake mix and stir just to combine—the batter should be lumpy. Coat a griddle or large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set it over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, spoon the batter onto the griddle or pan, using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on top of the pancakes and the batter is set, 2 to 3 minutes. Then use a spatula to flip the pancakes and cook them until golden brown on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
