Good Mood Food Recipe - Sweet Potato Cakes

Type: Snack
Equipment: Oven
Preparation time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 30 mins

The natural sweetness of these savoury foods combine with the apple to produce a tasty and filling sweet snack. Sweet potatoes belong to a different food family from the more familiar white-fleshed potato (which is a member of the nightshade family). They contain antioxidant nutrients and have a lower Glycaemic Index than regular potatoes. Despite the name, buckwheat is no relation to wheat; instead it is in the same food family as rhubarb. It does not contain gluten and so makes a safe alternative for those sensitive to gluten-containing grains. Buckwheat is also rich in antioxidant bioflavonoids and minerals and has a low GI. The combination of sweet potato and buckwheat makes for a very slow energy-releasing snack.

Ingredients (serves 4)
  • 200g/8oz/2 cups sweet potato, cooked with skin removed
  • 100g/4oz/l cup buckwheat flour
  • 100g/4oz/l cup milk-/dairy-free margarine

  • pinch cinnamon (optional)
