Prepare sweet potatoes and cheese
Peel the sweet potatoes, wash them clean, then cut them into round slices about 1 finger thick and place them in a steaming pot to steam until cooked (or steam). If you want the sweet potatoes to cook faster, you can cut them into thinner slices!
Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a bowl, use a spoon to mash them, or you can use a blender to puree the sweet potatoes.
With 2 pieces of cheese, we will divide them into 6 equal parts to make the filling, depending on your preference for more or less cheese, you can adjust accordingly.

Mixing the dough
Add 50g of tapioca flour, 20g of oatmeal, and 2 teaspoons of sugar into the bowl of mashed sweet potatoes. Next, slowly add 30ml of fresh milk while mixing well to ensure the mixture is well combined.
Tip: If you are following a clean eating diet, you can substitute regular sugar with sweetener or honey!Use your hands to knead the dough until it forms a ball and no longer sticks to your hands.
Cover the dough with a clean, dry cloth and let it rest for 10 – 15 minutes before shaping.

Making sweet potato oatmeal cake
After shaping the cake, we will start to pan-fry it. Place a non-stick pan on the stove, turn on low heat and add 1 teaspoon of peanut butter to the pan so that when frying, the cake will be fragrant and less likely to stick.
Wait until the butter is completely melted, then add the cake, frying each side for 3 – 5 minutes until the cake turns a deep golden color, then flip it over and fry the other side. Once the cake is evenly golden on both sides, remove it to a plate to finish.
Note:- While pan-frying the cake, you should only use low heat and carefully flip the cake to avoid burning it!
- When pan-frying, you should use a spatula to press down lightly on the cake to make the surface look better and firmer.

So we have completed the sweet potato oatmeal cake. The cake has a shiny golden outer layer that is eye-catching, and the filling inside is rich, melted cheese.

How to choose sweet, starchy sweet potatoes
- Choose sweet potatoes that are heavy, firm, and not bruised. Additionally, buy those with intact skins, without cracks or chips.
- Opt for medium-sized ones, as larger sweet potatoes often have more fibers, are less sweet, and don’t taste as good.
- If you see sweet potatoes that are pockmarked or have dark spots, that is a sign that they have spoiled or are infested.
How to choose delicious oatmeal
- To make your dish tastier, you should choose whole grain oats, usually in their raw form, without being broken.
- Buy when you see oats that have a creamy white color slightly tinged with pale yellow, without any black mold or strange smells.
- Moreover, it’s best to buy oats from reputable establishments or stores to ensure quality. When purchasing, make sure to check the brand and expiration date of the product!
