Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces Sweet potatoes (medium-sized)
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 cup Stevia or monk fruit sweetener
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 9-inch crust Whole wheat pie crust (unbaked)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork and place them on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Once the sweet potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and mash the flesh in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
Add the almond milk, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, stevia or monk fruit sweetener, and salt to the bowl with the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth.
Place the whole wheat pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and pour the sweet potato filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy this healthier take on a classic dessert!
