Notes
A tip for making these is to make sure the sweet potato is quite dry before pureeing, ie drain well and leave to sit in the warm pot so that it releases more water as steam before you puree
Store in an airtight container for 3 days
These can be frozen and served frozen
These are wheat free but not gluten free if traditional oats are used
