I'm pretty sure I've mentioned on this blog a few times just how much I love sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes in so many different ways, and this is one of them. You can make this anytime, but it's especially good at Thanksgiving. I was good this time with a topping of dried fruits and almond crumble, but it's also good with homemade marshmallow on top. YUM!
Ingredients:
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 large egg + 1 egg white, lightly beaten
3 Tbs. maple syrup
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
Topping:
1/4 cup almond flour
1 Tbs. coconut sugar
1 Tbs. butter from grass-fed cows or coconut oil, melted
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 cup dried dates, chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover wit water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover an simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Drain and place in a large bowl; mash. Cool slightly. Stir in the egg and egg white, syrup, and vanilla.
3. Transfer to an 8-in. square dish coated with a light greasing of coconut oil. Combine butter or coconut oil with coconut sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over the top.
