Becoming A Sweet Potato Lover

My mom made Sweet Potato Puff a lot when I was growing up, but I was more of a mashed potato kind of girl when I was little. I liked it but didn’t love it. It took me awhile to develop a more “sophisticated” sweet potato palate. Now, I could eat plates full of this stuff, and not just me but my husband and kids too. Also, one of my cousins developed a taste for sweet potatoes after trying this recipe too.

What Separates This Sweet Potato Casserole From Others

If you are like our family and have cut most refined sugars out from your diet then you know anytime you eat something sugary it taste so much sweeter than it ever did before you cut out the sugar. I’ve found this to be true on many occasions.

Try searching Sweet Potato Casserole Recipes on Pinterest or Google and almost every recipe comes back covered in marshmallows or sugary crumble toppings. Although, I’m sure these recipes are super delicious, they are just too sweet for our family’s palates. This family favorite Cinnamon Sweet Potato Puff contains no refined sugars and is just pure delicious wholesome goodness. With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I thought I’d share the recipe with all you other sweet potato cinnamon lovers out there.

Ingredients For Cinnamon Sweet Potato Puff

• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoon of honey (optional)
• 2 eggs separated
• Cinnamon

How To Make Cinnamon Sweet Potato Puff

Step 1: Prep Sweet Potatoes or Yams

• Peel and cut up sweet potatoes or yams. Cook in boiling water until soft, around 20 minutes). Strain completely.

Step 2: Create the Puff

• Separate eggs. Beat egg whites with electric mixer (I use my kitchen aid) until stiff. Set aside.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

• Use the electric mixer to mix mix sweet potatoes, melted butter, honey (optional), salt and pepper. (No need to melt butter if sweet potatoes are still hot. It will melt as you mix it in.)
• Add in egg yolks while mixer is still on and mix well.
• Gently fold in whipped egg whites.

Step 4: Bake the Sweet Potato Puff

• Pour in a shallow baking dish and spread out with a spatula. Sprinkle generously with cinnamon.
• Bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 minutes.

Then enjoy the yumminess! Sweet potatoes go well with anything in my opinion. I will even eat leftovers for breakfast (I know, it’s kind of weird, but don’t knock it until you try it). Reheat the leftovers in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes.
