Don't use a nut flour here, use minced or crushed nuts, they add a nice crunchy texture. Or leave them out completely if you want a silky smooth puff.
Sweet Potato Puffs
Serves 1, double as needed
1 egg
1/2 of a previously baked sweet potato
1 tablespoon minced or crushed pecans
Coconut oil
Scoop all the innards out of your sweet potato and mash them up in a small bowl. Crack an egg in and whip it up to combine evenly with the mashed sweet potato. Stir in the nuts. Add the coconut oil to a heavy pan over medium heat, and fry small scoops of the batter till crispy. Turn over halfway though. They're pretty squishy, so you may need to use a fork on one side and the spatula on the other to flip them.

Yum! I make these often with butternut squash...I sometimes add some chopped scallions and crushed red pepper. I have some leftover sweet potatoes in the fridge that will be perfect for this tomorrow!
ReplyDeletethese look really good, Ill give them a go tomorrow :) thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. I have made these using a banana instead of a sweet potato.
ReplyDeleteI just made them and they are awesome! I am thinking of things I can add to make them more savory and interesting. Pancetta? Mushrooms? Onion? The sky is the limit! Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteI bet pancetta would be a good add (not for me because of the sky high sodium). But more veggies I think would detract from the texture.
ReplyDeleteI just had these this morning and felt like I was cheating on my whole30. So yummy! My family, however, did not like them. So I just said, "More for me!".
ReplyDeleteMy family and I really liked these! So simple yet so good! My husband and daughter ate them with maple syrup.
ReplyDeleteFound this on Pinterest and just tried them this morning! Delish! Add some unsweetened coconut and might sprinkle in some cinnamon next time. Thanks for the recipe! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I can't stop making them :)
