Mom's Safe Sweet Potato Souffle

Submitted by DreamoBway

"This is a recipe my mom found on allrecipes that she adapted for me - the substitution of Splenda because I'm diabetic and the substitution of rice flour because of my intolerance to gluten. What's great is you can't tell the difference! Note to the diabetics out there: it's not sugar free but very much reduced in sugar. Still, it wouldn't be the holidays without this dish."

This is great! A sweet potato souffle that doesn't undo all the healthiness of sweet potatoes. And it's delicious. I love that topping. Crunchy, buttery, perfect!

Made for Zingo ZWT4 – Since my sister has gluten allergy, I am always testing recipes for her. This was a great sweet potato dish. Topped with almond slivers and a drizzle of maple sirup. Definite a make again recipe. Thanks for sharing.

I almost never bake with splenda or skim milk or rice flour for that matter, but this recipe intrigued me, & I always enjoy trying something new with yams, so . . . Found this dish to be quite tasty & had several gluten intolerant friends who were happy to get a copy of a recipe they could make for themselves & they wanted me to thank you for sharing!
