Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    1-1/2 cup soymilk
    Egg substitute equal to 2 eggs
    1 tbsp cornstarch
    1 tsp vanilla
    2 cups mashed cooked sweet potato (or pumpkin or winter squash)
    1/2 cup flour
    2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp salt
    cooking spray

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Spray a 9-inch deep dish pie pan with cooking spray.
A deep dish is recommended because this pie will rise a lot during cooking but will shrink back as it cools.
Put the first 4 ingredients in the blender and blend well. Add the sweet potatoes and puree.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend on high, stopping to scrape the sides a few times to make sure everything is thoroughly blended.
Pour into the pie pan.
Bake for about 60 minutes.
A standard toothpick or knife test does not work on this pie. Look for the center to be moist, but cooked.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool.

    I baked these in a muffin pan (without baking cups) for 55 minutes, and they were delicious - cakey outside and moist and pudding-like in the center. Makes about 14 mini-pies, 90 calories a piece. Don't be tempted to take the pies out early though; they need the full time. - 8/11/07

    I love how this makes it own crust! I used less sugar, substituted rice milk for soy and arrowroot for corn starch. Next time I'll leave a few of the potato pieces in chunks. I think would add interest and texture. Really nice! - 10/21/08

    This is a great recipe. I made a huge casarole pan of it and basically winged it on adding the appropriately measured ingredients but it came out divine! Thanks for a great recipe...definitely a keeper! - 11/12/07

    Good pie! Needs double the spices for my taste, and mine didn't have much of a crust and was basically sweet potato pudding... but I liked it and will make again wirh some tweaking. Thanks for the recipe! - 12/15/12

    Bless you for this new addition to the healthy cookbook! I used whole wheat pastry flour and splenda instead of sugar for my sweet diabetic hubby. This is a keeper! - 9/6/11

    Good option although I'm not sure why you would use pumpkin spice for a sweet potato pie recipe. To me it defeats the purpose of the pie, which is why I left it out. - 1/3/13

    Wonderful and creamy! love the no-crust idea. Needed a little more pumpkin spice. wasn't sure about the blender idea for mixing the whole thing and discovered batter was too thick for a blender-- nothing moved. will use mixer or food processor next time. Excellent! - 1/3/12

    I made these in mini muffin tins at 170 C for 15 minutes. I also used maple sugar and pumpkin in the recipe. Divine! - 12/22/11

    I used my own fresh ground spices. A declicious, filling, satisfying treat that you could almost consider a veggie serving. - 12/19/11

    I loved the idea of having a pie without the crust. i always eat just the filling any way. I have made this with sweet potatoes and pumpkin. Both very good. Might try butternut squash next time. Thanks for the recepie. I did use eggs and 2% milk. I try to not use any ingredients but natural. - 12/19/11

    Excellent! The flavor is sinfully rich! Agree w/ KFCOOKE regarding baking time. I used a clear pie plate so I was able to check the bottom to ensure it was done. - 11/24/11

    I tried as someone else had making in cupcake tins - didn't have muffin sized - got 18 plus a mini loaf pan. May have been able to fill them more, but was concerned about how it puffs up. Next time will use a mixer - bogged down the blender. They tasted good, but it was difficult to tell when done. - 11/6/11

    I know it adds some calories, but ground pecans on top-added the last few minutes of baking-is a really nice addition! - 9/3/11

    I am a newbie vegan but I was wondering about some ingredients. I cannot touch any of the "white stuff"...sugar, flour, baking powder etc. Does anyone have suggestions for substitutes? Besides agar and stevia for the sugar replacement, I am most curious about the flour substitute. Thanks in advance. - 7/4/11
