Prep Time 5 minutes mins
Cook Time 1 hour hr 30 minutes mins
Total Time 1 hour hr 35 minutes mins
For the potatoes
- 4 Sweet Potatoes
- 1 tsp ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Mace (or Nutmeg if not on AIP)
- 1 tsp Sea Salt
- 2 tbsp Honey (or Maple syrup)
For the topping
- 3/4 cup sliced Tigernuts
- 1/2 cup Banana Chips
- 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar (Or Maple Sugar; you can use less if desired)
- 1/4 cup Avocado oil (Or coconut oil, or Olive Oil)
Preheat the oven to 425 F. Poke several holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork or knife and then place in the oven for 1 hour. Once done, let cool until you’re able to handle them, remove the skins and put the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a bowl.
Add the other ingredients for the potatoes and then use a hand mixer or potato masher to mix them until smooth. Scoop into a baking dish.
Mix the toppings ingredients in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the top of the sweet potato mash. (If making ahead of time,stop at this point and put in the fridge until close to serving.)
Bake for an additional 20 minutes.
This is a great recipe to make ahead of time and then just reheat for dinner. You can even make homemade AIP marshmallows to go on top as well – super yum!
