Step 1

Scoop half a cup of the sweet potato onto a plate, then mash it with a fork to break up the large pieces, and set it aside. Place a small pot on a stove over medium heat, then add the oats and milk, and stir them constantly for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Once the mixture is hot, add the mashed sweet potato, then give them a good stir to combine, and keep mixing for an additional minute until the liquid has been absorbed. Sprinkle cinnamon or pumpkin spice on top, then stir well, and serve. Enjoy!
