This Sweet Potato Pie is the perfect healthy alternative to traditional pies! The creamy filling is vegan, gluten free, and refined sugar free.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that Jimmy and I just purchased our first home(!!!) We are beyond excited — it’s not built yet, so we’ll actually get to pick the finishes and make a few design adjustments. I still can’t believe it!

With our new home comes hosting and I cannot wait. I love hosting. I used to work in events and enjoy creating a vibe and energy in a space. This holiday season I’m perfecting my dishes for hosting next year!

Creating healthy alternatives that taste as good (or better) than classics is a challenge I truly enjoy, and there’s no better time than the holidays. Navigating the holidays with food allergies and dietary restrictions becomes much easier when you have easy go-to substitutions.

While exploring holiday classics, I created this sweet potato pie recipe and it is amazing. Not only does it have a creamy texture and the perfect amount of sweetness, but it’s packed with Vitamin A and fiber.

The homemade filling is simple to make with only 7 ingredients. If you’re looking for an allergen-friendly dessert without refined sugar that actually tastes good, you’ll love this sweet potato pie!

Recipe FAQs:

What pie crust do you recommend?

For gluten-free and vegan pre-made crusts, I enjoy Wholly Wholesome Gluten Free Pie Shells. You can find them frozen at Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and other grocers.

Can I make my own pie crust?

Definitely. I like to make my own pie crust when I have time.

Can I replace the maple syrup?

Yes, but the maple syrup gives it a delicious rich maple taste! If you’d like to substitute it and keep it refined sugar free, I recommend liquid substitutes like coconut nectar.
