Sometimes we crave sweet potato casserole but the thought of chucking one of those things together makes you want to forget about it. In this video, I’m going to show you how to make a single to double serving sweet potato that tastes just like that holiday favorite without the leftovers or work. It takes 10 minutes from cutting board to tater hole and you get to choose your own toppings so you can decide if you want to go healthy or a little more devilish. Perfect for those who may be away from family but still want to get a taste of the holidays!

I’m going to have to google fig butter. I don’t think we have it here…#FortheloveofBLOG
Apple and pumpkin butter would also work really well!
Great idea; I just watched with the kids- they love the sound of marshmallows on top! #fortheloveofBLOG
I’m with them! 😉 Marshmallows are a fun addition.
What a GREAT idea! I must try this. Looks so easy.

Thank you! Gotta admit I was patting myself on the back the first time I made that. SOOO good!
This sounds amazing… have never tried marshmallows on sweet potato before! #fortheloveofBLOG
It’s something you should try once…you know, for research purposes! 😉
Yum, these sound delicious!
Thank you Emily!
I do love sweet potatoes, but I’m not sure I’ve ever had a fig, or fig butter. Will definitely have to look into this!
Thanks for sharing this week at our Encouraging Hearts & Home Blog HOp!
If you’ve ever had a Fig Newton, the fig butter is the same consistency. Trader Joe’s and World Market both carry it if you’re ever interested in trying it!
You have me quite hungry this evening Mrs. Kringle! Delish! xoxo #dreamteam x
Yay! That’s the goal! 😉
