• 1 tsp vanilla extract ((4g))
• ½ tsp cinnamon ((1g))

• ½ tsp ginger ((1g))
• ⅛ tsp cloves ((0.62g))
• ½ tsp pink salt ((3g))

Method

1. Peel the sweet potato and then chop into small pieces.
2. Fill a large saucepan by up to 1/4 with water, then insert a steamer basket and bring to the boil.
3. Place the sweet potato on top of the basket, put the lid on, reduce the heat to medium-low and steam until the potat is tender (this should take several minutes).
4. Once steamed, remove the potato from the stove and use a potato masher to break it down into mash.
5. In a medium sized saucepan, add the water and almond milk and then bring it to the boil.
6. Once boiled, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the mashed sweet potato and stir.
7. Add the oats in increments while stirring until completely combined.
8. Allow the oatmeal to cook for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently to avoid it sticking until it starts to thicken up.
9. Once cooked, add the vanilla and the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger pink salt and cloves) and stir.
10. Finally stir in your choice of sweetener to taste.
