  • ¼ cup Maple Syrup Honey or agave syrup can serve as alternatives.
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Seasoning Can swap with a mixture of cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds a lovely aroma during baking.

  • 2 tablespoons Arrowroot Powder You can use cornstarch if you prefer.
  • ½ cup Evaporated Milk Coconut milk is a great dairy-free substitute.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Blend gluten-free flour, cold butter, and sugar in a food processor until a dough forms.
  • Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan to create a crust.
  • Mix together canned sweet potato, maple syrup, pumpkin seasoning, vanilla extract, egg, arrowroot powder, and evaporated milk until smooth.
  • Pour the sweet potato filling over the crust in the baking dish.
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
