[Thermomix] Quick purple sweet potato steamed buns

Time for some steamed buns again🤣 coz we need some snacks and “edible sensory play” for the kids. This time I didn’t reduce the olive oil and kids were complaining that dough is too sticky for them to shape 😝 but we are rewarded with extremely soft and fluffy buns!

Kids still enjoy this activity with me for now. And it makes me wonder when will be the last time they would request for this with me? 🥺#emomama
