Maple cinnamon mashed sweet potatoes
Ingredients
4 sweet potatoes scrubbed
1/4 cup melted butter (vegan option: coconut oil)
1/4 cup maple syrup (or sugar free maple syrup)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400F, cut off the ends of the potatoes, poke holes generously into the potatoes with a fork and line a pan with foil.
Bake potatoes directly on the pan. Most regular sized sweet potatoes will take about an hour. If you have an instant pot you can prepare the potatoes the same way, add 1/2 cup water to the instant pot and pressure cook for 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, combine the butter, maple syrup, and cinnamon in a medium dish.
Whisk until smooth. Microwave for 1 minute, just until mixture begins to boil.
Add vanilla extract. Set aside. Once potatoes are done baking, remove skins and mash with a fork. (If you cant easily mash them with skins on, they need to cook longer). Sprinkle with a little coarse salt. Place in a serving dish and drizzle with the butter mixture. Enjoy!
