Ingredients

120 g sweet potato puree see notes
100 g rolled oats or porridge pots
500 ml milk dairy or plant-based
1 teaspoon pumpkin spice or mixed spice or ⅓ teaspoon of each cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger
2 tablespoon maple syrup
2 tablespoon yogurt
20 g toasted pecans roughly chopped

Instructions

The night before, make your sweet potato puree (see notes). Alternatively, use shop-bought puree.
Place oats, milk, spices and half of the maple syrup into a saucepan and heat for 5-8 minutes until it thickens bus is looser than you would like (sweet potatoes will thicken it further).
Stir in the sweet potato puree and cook just enough to warm through. Add a splash of milk if your porridge turns too thick.
Divide sweet potato porridge between bowls and top with toasted pecan nuts, a dollop of yogurt and drizzle with the remaining maple syrup.

Notes

You can use canned sweet potato puree or pureed sweet potato from the baby food aisles. Alternatively, make the puree at home:

Boil Method:
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks.
- Place them in a pot, cover with water, and boil on medium heat until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
- Drain, then mash or blend until smooth. Use a little of the cooking water to adjust consistency.
Steam Method:
- Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks.
- Steam them in a steamer basket or microwave until they are easily pierced with a fork (usually 15-20 minutes on the stovetop or 5-7 minutes in the microwave).
- Mash or blend the steamed sweet potatoes until you achieve the desired texture.
Roast Method:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss them with a little bit of oil
- Roast them on a baking tray for 45-60 minutes or until they are soft.
- Scoop the flesh out of the cooked potatoes and mash to create a flavorful puree.
