I’ve been hearing through the grapevine that the recipe I posted for vegan sweet potato buns is a hit! Thanks C.N. and T.N. for the feedback! You can see the recipe at https://marykisner.com/making-vegan-sweet-potato-buns/
It got me in the mood to bake some myself but of course I didn’t have any sweet potatoes on hand. Cooking one sweet potato to get 1 cup of mashed is very inefficient…so I stopped at the store today and picked up 4 large sweet potatoes. I cut them into rounds and then peeled and chopped each round. I guess I could have bought a can of Yams…but that feels like cheating!
It took about 20 minutes to boil the chunks until soft.
I could have hauled out the food processor, but my handy (low tech) potato masher worked just fine. Then I scooped the mashed potatoes into containers and put them in the freezer. Now I’m set to add sweet potatoes to the bun recipe above.
I now have five 1-cup servings and one 2-cup serving (good for a double batch!) in the freezer.
My plan is to make a batch of buns like these:
Then I’d like to try putting some into my Oatmeal Bread recipe…either in addition to or instead of the oatmeal. I sense an experiment coming! Enjoy!
I just made another batch and gave them to my neighbor for her birthday. She calls them her new favorite food — these buns are truly magical!
My next post is about the sweet potato bread I just made…might be another winner!
