I just made this for breakfast and they are hella good.
I didn't measure my sweet potato but 150 grams is about 3/4 cup. I think I used too much because the mix was very thick. Still delicious
Also, the recipe doesn't say but it should be obvious that in order to mash the sweet potato you will need to precook them in which ever method you prefer.

that looks fucking awesome

me gusta

how many servings does it make?

i'm gonna have to try this.

om nom nom

i made myself 3 huge ones.

Favorited for a cheat meal.

Why does it have to be a cheat meal?

I made these, but changed them up a little bit.

We used 4 sweet potatoes (boiled for 15 minutes, then mashed)
~3 cups of milk
4 eggs, beaten
~2tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter
3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tbsp salt
2 tbsp baking powder
cinnamon and nutmeg to taste

Sift dry ingredients, and mix them into wet ingredients, etc

Thanks for the idea tho, they turned out awesome. Threw the leftover ones in the toaster to eat with my eggs this morning.
