Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt to the wet ingredients and whisk well to combine. Let stand 10 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the liquid.

Notes
I love using olive oil for flavor, but any oil will work well in this recipe.
I use canned organic sweet potato puree for this recipe most of the time, but it's easy to use fresh as well. Simply bake or microwave a sweet potato until tender, scoop out the flesh and mash it well with a fork or puree until smooth.
