Sweet potatoes are filling up my VeganWeekly newsletter this week. As the season for pumpkin everything begins, I’ve decided to go all in on sweet potatoes.
Ah thanks Jack, I have made it from your recipe several times but had forgotten about that bit at the bottom. I quite like that idea of adding it to the garden soil, might give that a go. Thanks.
Hi Jack, I'm tee'ing everything up to have a go at the sweet potato pie, sounds delish. Been meaning to ask about oat cream, quite a few of your recipes require it but I never know what to do with the leftover oats and I don't like throwing away all that good fibre. I'm not a big fan of smoothies and your snack bars require dry oats. Any suggestions?
Monica... thanks for reading and commenting. I like using oat cream in many preparations primarily because of the richness it can lend to a vegan preparation. I make my own as often as possible, but sometimes there's no time, so I buy some (check labels for odd ingredients).
At the bottom of that recipe in the Tips and Variations section, I write the following: "The question I normally get after sharing this recipe is, ‘what do you do with the strained oats?’ Excellent question! I don’t like wasting things in the kitchen, so I end up saving the oats and making sure they are as dry as possible. I use them in baked goods, like muffins, to add a bit more body and perhaps a touch of nutrition and fiber. Here’s another DYI use…mix the processed oats with some soil and add them to your plants!"
I hope this information answers your question - please let me know if you need anything further...

I have a recipe for my version of Oat Cream. Have you checked it out? https://myfreshattitude.substack.com/p/oat-cream
