Recipe modified from the “Deceptively Delicious” cookbook. These are great to have in the freezer for a quick breakfast option. The sweet potatoes are a great substitute for milk making this a dairy free option and boosting the nutrition. I keep pureed sweet potatoes in the freezer in ¼ cup proportions to add to this recipe, our taco meat along with using it for our daughters baby food.
