SWEET POTATO DIABETIC RECIPES

Steps:

• Boil sweet potato whole in skin for 40 to 50 minutes, or until done. Run cold water over the sweet potato, and remove the skin.
• Break apart sweet potato in a bowl. Add margarine, and mix well with mixer. Stir in splenda, milk, eggs, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until mixture is smooth. Pour filling into an unbaked pie crust.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 55 to 60 minutes, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Pie will puff up like a souffle, and then will sink down as it cools.

Steps:

• In a covered large saucepan, cook sweet potatoes in enough lightly salted boiling water to cover, for 25-30 minutes, or until very tender.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350.
• Lightly coat a 1 1/2-2 quart oval baking dish, or a 2 quart square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Drain sweet potatoes, and return to saucepan.
• Using an electric mixer or potato masher, mash sweet potatoes until smooth.
• Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar or brown sugar substitute, eggs, nutmeg, and cinnamon.
• Add milk, and stir to combine.
• Pour into the prepared baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine pecans, 1/4 cup brown sugar or brown sugar substitute, flour, and melted butter. Sprinkle over sweet potatoes.
• Bake uncovered, about 30 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are heated through, and topping is golden brown.
• Serve warm.
