Having lived in California my whole life, I had never even heard<\/em> of sweet potato pie (which is apparently a staple Thanksgiving dish in the southern states?) but as it turns out, sweet potato pie is basically just pumpkin pie with sweet potatoes instead of pumpkin. It uses the same spices and the same basic process, but I have to say… I think I like the sweet potato version better than the pumpkin one. Yes, the two pies taste very similar, but the mild sweet potato flavor works better with “pumpkin pie” spices than pumpkin itself. Maybe the Southerners are onto something, y’all!<\/p>\n

Instead of one giant, pie, however, let’s make some mini single-serving sweet potato “pielets” \u2013 they’re easier to make, easier to cook, and way more awesome. <\/p>\n

Now, one of the biggest challenges with making a vegan pie filling is getting it to set correctly. Luckily, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to make this happen. By using blended dates and flaxseed along with the pureed potatoes, we achieve an awesome flavor and the perfect consistency that actually sets in the oven. In addition, you know how we roll on One Ingredient Chef: this recipe has no processed sugar, minimal oil, and only real ingredients. <\/p>\n
