Yummy Yam Cakes



Ingredients
Yields: 12 cakes

2 lbs organic yams
2 cups organic rolled oats
1 cup organic plain coconut milk yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp maple syrup
1/4 cup organic chia seeds
1 cup of water
1 tbsp olive oil

Directions

Boil yams until soft. Remove peel and cut into chunks. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Take chia seeds and place in a small bowl, stir in 1 cup of water and allow seeds to soak while the yams are cooking.

Process oats in a blender or food processor until powdery.

Mix the blended yam, processed oats, yogurt, vanilla, syrup, olive oil and the soaked chia seeds.

Preheat pan on medium and add olive oil. Use 1/4 cup of batter for each cake. Gently press to flatten. Fry until browned and flip.


Serve with maple syrup if desired. Yam Cakes are a great side dish or breakfast main dish served with fresh fruit.
