Oatmeal Streusel Topping

.

1/2 cup rolled oats

4 T dark brown sugar

2 T all-purpose flour

1/4 t ground cinnamon

4 T cold butter

.

Make the oatmeal streusel by grinding the rolled oats to a fine flour using a food processor. A blender will also work. Combine the oat flour with brown sugar, flour & cinnamon in a small bowl. Cut the cold butter into the dry mixture using a pastry knife or a fork until you have a crumbly mixture with pea-size bits. Sprinkle this oatmeal streusel over the sweet potato mixture
