Sweet Potato Dessert

Sweet potatoes with cinnamon MIGHT be the new almond butter.  Except this is definitely a dessert...and you can't smear this on bananas.. and you really shouldn't be eating this haphazardly by the spoonful... but you'll want to :-) The first time I made this I used two sweet potatoes and seriously had to pace myself. I ate about 1/4 of the dish then realized I had gone too far so I hid the rest in a container in the back of my fridge. But every time I opened the fridge it called my name from the deep depths of the wee corner on the bottom shelf. Given this experience, next time I will use only one sweet potato. I will also blog the recipe using only one sweet potato to save you from all the trouble.

Sweet Potato Dessert:


Ingredients:
  • One sweet potato
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • Raw honey or agave for drizzling 
Melt coconut oil in pan on high heat. Chop sweet potato and put in skillet, covering completely with oil. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Then cover, turn heat down to medium, and cook an additional 4 minutes. Remove from pan, drizzle with raw honey or agave and sprinkle with cinnamon.
