- Make it maple flavored. Instead of brown sugar, use ¼ cup of maple syrup. This works best when you stir it into the mashed sweet potatoes.
- Add ginger. Add ½ teaspoon of powdered ginger to your spice blend.
- Turn leftover mashed sweet potatoes into a pie. Add ¼ cup of milk, 3 tablespoon butter, and 2 eggs into the sweet potato mash along with the seasoning blend. Pour into a pie crust and bake for 35 minutes at 350ºF. Healthy Mashed Sweet Potato Pie!
