Mini Sweeties - QED Quick, Easy and Delicious

Over the years, I have  made sweet potatoes in sweet versions and in savory versions.  All have proven to be delicious.  I wonder if you can ruin sweet potatoes, other than to burn them.

Sweet potatoes have become soups, sides, part of main dishes, desserts and although, I have not used for appetizers, I am sure there are recipes for that.  The clear sweetness in contrast to savory works well.  With a bland taste, they give life to the food.  What a great potato!

These delights are filled with sliced pears and spiced with pumpkin pie spices.  A few more ingredients and we have the makings of these minis and the making of a Quick and Easy recipe.

Mini Sweeties

Ingredients:

1 pear, sliced and then cut in half
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and chunked
1/3 cup Rice Milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Using two mini muffin pans, fill with linings or spray the muffin tins.

After slicing pears, place them in a small bowl with the lemon juice.

Boil water and cook sweet potatoes until you can prick them with a fork.  (about 20 minutes)  Mash these in a large bowl.

Add the Rice Dream and pears to the mashed sweet potatoes.  Mix thoroughly.

Add egg and spices, salt and pepper to mixture.

Using, a tablespoons cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop enough of the mixture to fill each muffin liner.


Bake for 20 minutes.

If you would like to add a little something as a topping, either use cinnamon sugar or a nut streusel.
