Notes
You can sub in coconut sugar for brown sugar.
T
he flour used can be any type of flour. Cassava, gluten free all purpose flour or wheat all purpose flour
If you are not vegan, you can use dairy butter.
This recipe is made for an 8x8 baking dish but if you double, it will nicely fit a 9x13 dish.
Instead of boiling potatoes, you can use my instant pot sweet potato recipe to cook your sweet potatoes.
