Notes

  1. Roasted sweet potatoes work best for this recipe. Add to a blender / food processor to make into a puree (full sweet potato puree instructions here). If you do not have a blender make sure to mash the potato really well to ensure no large lumps in your batter. 
  2. Spices are optional but don't be afraid to add spices to the food you serve your baby. Alter to suit taste. 
  3. You can replace coconut oil with oil of choice or butter.
