The Best Gluten Free Sweet Potato Pie

By Roger Wallace


Nothing creates the feeling and taste of home better than homemade pie. It is no wonder that pie always features in meals such as Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Sweet potato pie is one of the popular choices. In case you are on a gluten free diet, either as a result of health problems, allergies or diet, and personal issues, regular pie could be a no. However, there are several options available for gluten free sweet potato pie.

The only secret is having a pie crust made with ingredients devoid of this protein composite. The most recommended kind would be the extra flak sour cream pie crust that does not contain this protein composite. You can acquire all these from any of the grocery stores close to you. If they do not have the specific kind you are looking for, ask for any available gluten free pie crust products they may have.

To make the yam puree, wash and bake a few medium sized potatoes at 375 degrees F. Make sure that the skin has loosened and that the flesh is soft. This is a process that takes about 30 minutes to one hour. After the sweet potatoes have cooled, peel them carefully. Place the peeled potatoes in a food processor and process them until they form a thick even paste.

After having the two main ingredients ready, getting all together is the next step. Prepare the baking tin and lay the crust like directed. Mix the yams with eggs, milk and butter to form a thick paste. Add sugar, salt and any spice of your liking till the texture is even.

Preheat the oven and bake the crust for about ten minutes. Remove the crust and add the camote mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for another 15 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool. You can even chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour and a half. Ensure that you allow it to sit for half an hour at room temperature before you serve.

A gluten free diet offers many benefits to enjoy. One thing to know about the protein composite is that it is a protein present in various carbohydrates. Limiting the intake of this protein composite means that you eliminate most of the carbohydrate from your food. This has positive results, especially on your weight. Many go for gluten free diet as a form of fashion. This is also helpful since it has helped many in avoiding obesity.

On the other hand, when you get this type of diet, you force yourself to get creative with your recipes. Consequently, you will find yourself trying out new things which break the monotony of having the same food types served on your table every day. The family will look forward to the fresh twists on the everyday dinner ideas.

The above are a few of the crucial things you need to be aware of on getting yourself an ideal sweet potato pie as well as some health benefits considerations. When made in the right way, this pie will transform the whole meal experience. Take your time into experimenting into the best recipes and ingredients and have fun while making it, the results will be amazing.
