A lighter Thanksgiving side with all the candy-sweet flavor of traditional sweet potato casserole! These whipped sweet potatoes are on the table in under 30 minutes, and have no refined sugar, dairy, or butter added!

Dicing the sweet potatoes into 1 inch cubes allows for a quick cooking time, and boiling garlic in with the potatoes adds a lot of flavor. I used 2 tablespoons of coconut creamer when mashing up my sweet potatoes, but if you don’t have any non-dairy creamer on hand, you could use milk or a milk alternative. You may find that the sweet potatoes are naturally sweet enough without any added honey. Taste and see!

I enjoyed my sweet potatoes topped with dried cranberries and chopped pecans. Walnuts and dried coconut would also be great mixed in.

Created by on November 22, 2016

  • Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp. non-dairy creamer (such as almond, coconut, or soy)
  • 1 tbsp. local honey

Instructions

  1. Peel sweet potatoes and chop into 1-inch cubes. Peel the two cloves of garlic. Place sweet potato chunks and whole garlic cloves into a medium sized saucepan, with enough water to cover. Set pan on high heat and boil until the potatoes pierce easily with a fork, about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and garlic, reserving one tablespoon of the cooking liquid.
  3. Return potatoes, garlic, and liquid to the pan. Add non-dairy creamer, honey, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mash to desired consistency, or whip with a mixer. Serve warm, sprinkled with cinnamon if desired.
