    Ingredients

    • I know that I'm a little early for Thanksgiving recipes, but you can pin it now and make it later
    • 2 large sweet potatoes, steamed in skin until soft, slip off skin and set aside to cool
    • 2 Tablespoons of freshly squeezed orange juice
    • 1/4 teaspoon of orange zest from an organic orange
    • 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon
    • 2 teaspoons coconut crystals which have a low glycemic index ( or brown sugar)
    • 2 Tablespoon of butter or coconut oil
    • 2 Tablespoons of almond milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • Optional: 1/2 chopped apple added to final batter
    • Crust:
    • 1 cup pecans, chopped
    • 1/2 cup of coconut crystals ( health food store) or order from Amazon
    • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil or melted butter

    Directions

    Fresh steamed sweet potatoes make great pies, but I like individual little mini pie portions because they are easier to serve to a crowd on a holiday like Thanksgiving. In addition, the mini muffin versions look cute and taste just as good. This recipe is gluten free and vegan.

    3K now and make it later.

    Of course, there is no law saying you can't make this recipe and eat it now. After all it's officially fall- a perfect time to enjoy sweet potatoes. I made these as part of our Jewish New Year meal, as we look for ways to eat sweet foods for a sweet New Year. Everyone loved them.
