Sweet Potato and Marshmallow Mushrooms

Yes, I went there.
I went all American on you and mixed vegetables and candy.
But it was soooo goooood!!!!
Ingredients:
200g Sweet potato
20g (1tbsp) Mallow Fluff 
(or Manuka if you want to keep it clean)
20g Oat Flour
15g Almond Flour 
10 Mini Marshmallows
.................................................................................
Pretty simple too, grab your sweet potatooo...


 And some Fluff 
(or Manuka if you're staying clean)


...................................................................................
Cook and mash the sweet potato and add a tablespoon of Fluff.
 

......................................................................................................

Mix together then add about 20g of oat flour  


.......................................................................................................


Shape into teaspoon sized balls
 (I managed to get 10)

.....................................................................................................

Roll in almond flour to coat ...


and pop on a baking tray
 

....................................................................................................

Put a mini marshmallow in the top
 (or you could roll the potato around it so it's in the centre.. 
but then it wouldn't be a mushroom, more of a doughnut) 


That one on the right was my tester... (ie: the one I get to eat ;) )

.........................................................................................................

Bung them in the oven for 10 minutes @ 180C

 
Haha (oven action shot)
.......................................................................................................

Et Voila!!

New York Style Food Porn

My life has been ever so slightly busy the past 4 months!!!
I have spent at least 3 weeks offshore per month since July and I cant remember what dry land looks like!! In the last 92 days, I have spent 7 in my own bed... How's that for crazy?! So when I do get some time at home there will be more healthy tastiness coming your way I promise :)
So until then:
I went to New York for the first time ever in September, with my cousin Jake who's a chef, and fellow foodlover. Now I normally live on a really healthy clean diet. but the sole purpose of this trip was to eat EVERYTHING in sight. We went for 5 days, Friday-Tuesday.
