Hi N – I used your berry honey muffins as our Rosh Hashanah honey cakes. And now I’m trying to cobble together a sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving. I have my gluten free crust from WF and I am lactose free as well. So this is what I’ve put together but haven’t tested it yet because I wanted to see what you thought on first pass – yes it has a lot of sugar, I realize that but not having made it and having had nothing but sweet sweet potato pies here in New Orleans I wasn’t sure if I could sidestep that fact. I like the meringue at the end because I always love this pie with a little bit of whipped cream but given the lactose issue this sort of satisfies that by sidestepping it.

2 cups cooked, mashed sweet potato
1 cup sugar
2 Tbs coconut oil
2 large eggs

¼ tsp cinnamon
