🥣 Ingredients (Serves 6)
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Rolled oats (regular, not fine) | 200 g |
| Roasted sweet potato flesh | 150 g |
| Eggs | 2 |
| Cocoa powder | 35 g |
| Baking powder | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | A pinch |
| Ground cinnamon | ½ teaspoon |
| Oil | 50 ml (any neutral vegetable oil or from nut butter jar) |
| Almond butter (or other nut butter) | 25 g |
| Sugar | 100 g |
| Milk (dairy or plant-based) | 400 ml |
🔪 Preparation Steps
- Prepare oats and sweet potato:
Weigh oats in a large bowl. In another bowl, mash the roasted sweet potato thoroughly with a fork.
Add eggs and whisk to combine. - Mix dry and wet ingredients:
Stir in cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, oil, and almond butter. Whisk until smooth and brownie-like in texture. - Add sugar and milk:
Add sugar, then gradually whisk in milk. The batter will be quite liquid—this is expected. - Combine with oats:
Pour wet mixture over oats and mix well until fully combined. - Bake:
Transfer batter into a greased ovenproof dish. Bake at 175°C (350°F) for 45–55 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick or skewer into the center— it should come out mostly clean. - Optional chocolate topping:
If desired, sprinkle chocolate chunks or chips on top in the last minute of baking. - Serve:
Enjoy warm from the oven or at room temperature. Reheat as desired.

- Use freshly roasted sweet potatoes for best flavor and natural sweetness.
