Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup rolled old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • ¼ cup roasted and mashed sweet potato

  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of ground ginger
  • Pinch of ground cloves
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Method
 

  1. Clean and pierce a sweet potato with a fork. Wrap in foil and roast for 1 hour at 350℉ until soft. Let cool completely.
