If I were to make something at home, I want to make something healthy and delicious. So, after many attempts I put together this ratio of ingredients.
The key for a healthier snack is using honey and vanilla extract

-Once you're done with adjusting the amount of water to reach your desired consistency, everything else is quite easy.
-These are so tasty that you won't believe you're using only a minimum amount of sugar.
-The listed amounts make a lot, so you could easily halve the measurements. For 10-12 sweet potato treats. Recipe by Manonxxx

Steps

1

Peel the sweet potatoes and soak in water.
2

Add a pinch of salt to the water in a pan. When it boils, simmer the sweet potatoes over medium heat.
3

Test with a skewer. If you can poke a hole through, it's done. Drain in a colander or sieve.
4

Mash the sweet potatoes while they're still hot. If you feel the mixture is too runny, heat on low to evaporate off the excess moisture until the desired consistency.
5

While it's still hot, add butter (margarine), honey, sugar, and skim milk.
6

Knead everything together and taste.
7

Add egg yolk and vanilla extract. Please adjust the amount of milk according to the smoothness of the mixture.
8

Shape into preferred shapes. Brush on the egg yolk (with mirin) for the glaze. Top with black sesame seeds if you'd like.
9

Bake in an 180 to 200℃ oven until they reach your preferred shade of brown. You could also use a toaster oven.
