Sweet Potato Dessert/Pie (DF,GF)

I was not going to publish this  because it came about by me making a mistake in what I was trying to make !!!  But my co-workers LOVED it and thought it made a great dessert.  So here it is !!!   

This recipe makes a TON!!!   I made 1- 10 inch pie and 2-8 inch pies with this recipe.  

Ingredients:

3 and 1/2 cups cooked and mashed sweet potatoes

3 bananas

1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk

1/4 cup orange juice

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp salt

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

3/4 cup and 2 Tbsp date syrup

1 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut  (I use Bob's Red Mill)

1 cup pecans

1 cup  old fashioned oats

Directions:

Mix all ingredients in a blender or food processor until well combined.

Pour mixture into pie crust or dessert bowls.

If making a pie, bake at 350 degrees until hot, about 35 - 45 mins.

Pie Crust:

1 and 1/2 cups pecans

1/2 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut  (I use Bob's Red Mill)

15 large dates

2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Mix all ingredients (EXCEPT coconut) in a blender or food processor until crumbly.  Stir in coconut.

Press into a 9-inch pie pan

My favorite food processor is the  KitchenAid  7-Cup Food Processor. 

For blenders, I use both the  Vitamix Blender and Ninja Master Prep Professional Blender

The Lord is close to everyone who prays to him, to all who truly pray to him.
