Sweet Potato Pie

Homemade Sweet Potato Pie


  • Author: Erica

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Filling

  • 2 cups of sweet potatoes (roasted and peeled)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 honey
  • ½ stick of melted butter (if you’re mixing in a high powered blender like a Vitamix there’s no need to melt it)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

Crust

  1. If you don’t want to make the crust, just use a gluten-free crust of your choice. That’s what I almost always do.

Pie

  1. Roast your sweet potatoes at 350* F until soft and tender. Roasting is important to bring out the flavor.
  2. Make your pie crust according to package instructions or bake if you’re using a recipe. If you’re using a frozen crust, there’s usually no additional steps. You’ll just pour the filling right in.
  3. Add all of the pie filling ingredients to a Vitamix, high powered blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth, using the tamper to scrape the sides of the blender jar as needed.
  4. Pour the mixture into the pie crust (let the crust cool first if you baked yours) and place in the oven.
  5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes at 350* F or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
