Ingredients
- 2 pounds sweet potato peeled and cut into large chunks (about 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 6 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- 2 egg large
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- pepper pinch
Instructions
- Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with about 1 inch of water. Add a generous pinch of salt
- Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, and let simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 20-30 minutes, depending how large you cut them.
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and place the pecans on a small baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and toasted, about 8-12 minutes. Watch them closely, because they burn quickly! Roughly chop them and set aside.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and transfer to a 7-quart slow cooker.
- Add the remaining ingredients (except the pecans) and mash together until well combined, leaving a little bit of texture in the potatoes.
- Sprinkle with the pecans.
- Cook on the high heat setting for 3-4 hours, depending on how hot your slow cooker runs. You want them to be creamy but not runny. Mine were perfect at 3.5 hours.
- DEVOUR.
