Ingredients

Sweet Potato Layer

  • 4 lbs. sweet potatoes
  • 6 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 3 Tbsp. butter or coconut oil melted
  • 2 eggs or flax eggs
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. salt

  • 3 Tbsp. butter or coconut oil melted

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  • Whip the potatoes and remaining sweet potato layer ingredients together in a food processor, or until smooth.
  • Pour sweet potato layer into a nonstick cooking-sprayed 9 x 9-inch baking dish or 2.5-quart casserole dish.
