Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pie

Thanks For Sharing!

Happy Wednesday Friends! Fall is really starting to set in here in the NW and I’m loving it. As we all gear up for the cooler temperatures I thought I’d share a nice seasonal dessert with all of you. Sweet Potato Pie, anyone?

Before I dive into this yummy recipe, I am so excited to tell you all that I am hanging out at one of my favorite blogs today, I {heart} Naptime! I was completely in shock when Jamielyn asked me to be a guest and jumped at the opportunity. I’m sharing a brand new project over there today, its shades of gray and looks very pretty in my kitchen right now. Want to see? Click here to take a peek.

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pie

It’s no surprise that Baby E’s favorite food are sweet potatoes because they happen to be one of mine too! I can’t get enough. One of the dishes I most look forward to in the fall is a Sweet Potato Casserole that my mom makes. It’s heavenly. This Gluten-Free Sweet Potato (or yam) Pie was inspired by all of the flavors from that dish. Sweet and savory.

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pie

Start out with a large yam. Peel and chop into 1/4-1/2″ pieces.

Places pieces into a large pot and boil until tender. Strain.

Place sweet potatoes in food processor (or blender) and add 1/4 cup water.

Puree until potatoes are creamy.

Make the pie crust (don’t pre-bake) and the filling using the directions below. I used the Bob’s Red Mill Biscuit Mix for my pie crust, you can also refer to my pie crust recipe here, it is a bit sweeter. Pour the filling into the pie crust. Bake at 350.

Bake for 40 minutes or until the crust is nice and brown.

    Taryn-

    I love that you use coconut oil in this recipe. I buy it in bulk. It adds so much character to baked goods…
    I’ve always just baked my sweet potatoes. I’m going to try your way next time…

    Sharing @ my pinterest sweet tooth board.

    Take care,
    Nicolette
