NATURALLY SWEET, SWEET POTATO SOUFFLÉ
If you desire something sweet, warm, satisfying and good for you, but grain-free and no added sugar, here’s a yummy one.
I enjoy a warm “dessert” that can also double as a breakfast! At least for me it does. A soufflé is basically a crustless pie. This one is packed with nourishment, protein and vitamins…

INSTRUCTIONS
- 1 or 2 sweet potatoes should amount to 3 cups, I found purple ones at the local Fresh Thyme grocery store!
- Poke with a knife and bake on a baking sheet in the oven for 35 minutes at 350º.
- Once cooked the potato skin usually peals off easily with your fingers. (You can compost the skins or feed them to your pets :-))
- Then add all ingredients to a high powered blender, I use my wonderful Vitamix, blend for 1 minute or until well pureed.
- Pour potato mixture into a pie plate for a pie consistency or a straight sided baking dish(es) for a fluffy soufflé.
- Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg on top. Baking the for 25 to 30 minutes at 350º
- Let the soufflé or pie set for 10 minutes and then dig in. Refrigerate leftovers and it tastes good cold too.
- You can substitute the sweet potato with cooked pumpkin or any cooked hard sweet squash such as butternut, kabocha… you just may need sweetener.
