    Ingredients

    • 1/3 cup regular oats
    • 1 cup 1% milk
    • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
    • 1/3-1/2 cup sweet potatoes (steamed in microwave or roasted)
    • 1 tablespoon flax seeds (optional)
    • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon course salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon. cinnamon
    • 1/8 teaspoon. nutmeg
    • For toppings:
    • 1/4 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon honey
    • Pinch of salt
    • Pinch of cinnamon

    Directions

    1. Wash and dry a sweet potato, then prick all over with a fork. Then microwave uncovered for five minutes. If it's not soft by then, microwave 1 minute, check; if it's not soft, microwave* a minute at a time until it's done. Allow to cool slightly, scoop out the flesh, mash in a bowl until smooth.
    2. *Alternatively, you can roast on 350 F for about an hour. Preferably the night before, you want something quick in the morning!
    3. You can toast the walnuts in a dry skillet for about 5 minutes on medium. Remove from heat and stir in walnuts and honey. If you don't want to toast, just mix in a small bowl!
    4. In the meantime, in a medium sized pot, heat the oats and milk over medium heat until it comes to a low boil. Stir in the sweet potato and flax seeds (if using) . Heat over low-medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. Add in the salt, sugar, spices, and vanilla, then heat for about 4 minutes more, stirring frequently.
    5. Add topping and if you want, add a little honey or maple syrup on top.
