Easy peasy and delicious. Changes: microwaved sweet potatoes instead of boiling them to minimize nutrient loss (plus it’s quick and easy), used honey 1:1 instead of maple syrup, used 2T bottled lemon juice+2T H20+1T sugar instead of 1/4 cup OJ, and microwaved topping mixture to promote easier mixing. Next time to try: soy milk instead of almond milk, substitute almond butter for vegan butter, cut nutmeg in half and add an equal amount of clove. NOTE: It has the right amount of cinnamon!
Maple syrup and sweet taters are a no-go.
Next time I will peel potatoes before cooking. The topping was very unique & delicious. .
Sounds good. I would do lemon juice instead of orange juice.
Nice vegan side dish for the Holidays that pleases the entire family.
I would say maybe do a little less orange juice. But we did only have 3 SMALL potatoes vs 3 large, so maybe that was the problem because you could taste the orange juice at times. Overall was good!
Was very easy to make and it came out great.
Super good recipe!!! A bit too much cinnamon for me but still good. I love the topping and I suggest at least doubling the amount called for so the top can be covered. My boys gobbled it up and had no idea that it was Vegan.
