Simple Ingredients Needed to Make These Mashed Sweet Potatoes

  • sweet potatoes
  • maple syrup
  • light butter
  • non-fat plain yogurt
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg

I personally love sweet potatoes whether they are mashed, baked, fried, in a casserole, with or without butter…you get the point.

And so, if you like sweet potatoes but enjoy a bit more sweetness than plain sweet potatoes, this recipe is for you.

It has maple syrup added for extra sweetness and yogurt to add some creaminess to it.

While I love Sweet Potato Casserole, I sometimes want to enjoy sweet potatoes a little healthier. That’s why I came up with this sweet, yet healthier mashed sweet potato recipe.

Dietitian’s Dish

Sweet potatoes are nutrition powerhouse vegetables. They are packed full of vitamin C (help with the immune system), vitamin A (eye health), fiber (regularity and decrease risk of colorectal cancer) and many more nutrients!

They are simple to make too. Just microwave them or bake in the oven for about 1 hour or until soft.
