Get Cozy with These Buttermilk Yamcakes

Buttermilk pancakes are a classic go-to, and pumpkin buttermilk pancakes are a fall favorite. But as pumpkin spice season continues, having pumpkin in everything might be losing its appeal. Yams are a great alternative to pumpkins while still having that warm and cozy fall vibe. These buttermilk yamcakes are a breakfast with fall in every bite!
