Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced (200°C top/bottom heat).

Peel the sweet potato and mash it in a bowl with a fork or similar utensil. Stir in the egg, cinnamon, salt, and syrup, then fold in the rolled oats, baking powder, and raisins.

Grease a baking dish with a little rapeseed oil or baking spray, pour in the batter and smooth it out. Distribute the nuts evenly over the surface, and sprinkle with cinnamon or fleur de sel if desired.

Bake the casserole for 20 minutes at 180°C fan-forced, then let it cool.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Sweet Potato Puree Perfection 🍠
Roast sweet potatoes whole to concentrate their natural sugars and develop deeper flavor before pureeing for maximum sweetness and complexity.
Texture Transformation Trick 🥣
Pulse your rolled oats briefly in a food processor to create a more cake-like texture that's less dense and more tender.
Nutty Depth Enhancement 🥜
Toast your chosen nuts or seeds before adding to the mix to unlock deeper, more complex flavors and add a delightful crunch.
Moisture Magic 💧
If your sweet potato puree seems too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or plant-based milk to ensure a perfectly moist baked oatmeal.
Make-Ahead Mastery 🥄
Prepare the entire mixture the night before and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and simplify morning preparation.
