Ingredients

    4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cooked
    2 tablespoons Earth Balance
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    5 tbsp pure maple syrup
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Next, mix the topping ingredients together until well-combined. Sprinkle topping mixture over the casserole and bake for approx. 50 minutes, checking it every so often. Serves 7-9.

    I was going to try to use this recipe but noticed the milk discrepancy also so "Googled" the title... Check out this link -- this recipe was "adapted" - the original had milk in it...

    Sound great! I'll probably use less Earth Balance, since I try to cook without added fats when possible, but this sound delish! - 11/15/10

    The maple syrup shouldn't be necessary if you have the brown sugar topping. It should be plenty sweet, and that would cut the calorie count considerably. - 9/24/20

  • no profile photo


    I really can't rate this recipe since I haven't used it yet. It looks really good except for the directions are confusing me. DIRECTIONS SAY: ADD MILK. THERE IS NO MILK LISTED IN THE INGREDIENTS. PLEASE CLARIFY THIS BEFORE TOMORROW. I WANTED TO MAKE IT FOR THANKSGIVING. - 11/24/10
