Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, eggs, almond flour, green onion, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the sweet potato mixture per pancake into the skillet, gently flattening each one with the back of the spoon to form compact pancakes.
Cook each pancake for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat until all of the sweet potato mixture is used up, adding more coconut oil to the skillet as necessary.
Serve the pancakes hot with a side of applesauce or your preferred Paleo-friendly toppings.
