Oven-Baked Sweet Potatoes With Maple Cream

To save time, try microwaving the potatoes rather than oven-baking them. The maple cream is also tasty drizzled over cut-up fresh fruit. Serving size: 1 potato & 1 tablespoon maple cream. Cost per serving: .34 cents. Diabetic Exchanges: 3 1/2 starch. This came from Diabetic Meals On $7.00 A Day - Or less. I have not tried this, just posting for safe keeping.

• 1  tablespoon maple syrup
• 1⁄8 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 400. Wash and dry potatoes. Pierce each 5 times with a fork and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 45-60 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork.

3. Split each potato lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through. Spoon 1 tablespoon maple cream over each split potato, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
