– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Equipment Needed
– Mixing bowl
– Potato masher or blender
– Measuring cups and spoons
– Whisk

Step-by-Step Instructions
First, start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that’s heating up, peel and chop your sweet potatoes, then boil them in a pot of water until they’re fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the water and mash them until smooth. You can use a potato masher or a blender for this. The smoother, the better! Once they’re mashed, let them cool slightly before mixing them with the other ingredients. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
