Equipment
- SHeet Pan lined with parchment paper
- Medium mixing bowl and spoon
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed cooked potatoes
- ¼ cup oat flour
- 1 chia egg 1 tablespoon mixed with 3 tablespoons water (if you prefer use 1 real egg)
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder optional
Instructions
- Start with 1 cup of mashed potatoes—either leftovers or freshly made using a recipe of your choice or the recipe below.If making mashed potatoes from scratch, boil 1–2 small potatoes until soft, then mash with 2–4 tablespoons of unsweetened non-dairy milk, formula, or water to create a smooth base.
- Stir in the oat flour, chia egg, baking powder (if using), and onion powder. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little liquid or unsweetened applesauce—1 tablespoon at a time—until it holds together well enough to shape into a mound on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Using a spoon, scoop 1 heaping teaspoon (about 1 inch) of batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a wet finger to shape if needed.
- Bake at 350℉ until lightly golden brown, about 9-12 minutes depending upon your oven.
- Let them cool a bit before serving to your Little Sprout. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
