GLUTEN & SUGAR FREE SWEET POTATO PIE


GLUTEN & SUGAR FREE
SWEET POTATO PIE








Today I invited my friends over again to hangout at my place.
I love baking and cooking so almost weakly, 
I invite them over for lunch.

After spending 5 days of Korean thanksgiving break,
I knew my friends were done with greasy food.

One of my friend requested something light and healthy. 

While trying to figure out what I to make,
I head over to my kitchen and realized I had to
use sweet potatoes my mom gave me while I was at her place.


My mom lives in city called Kong-ju and 
this place is famous for good quality
chestnuts and sweet potatoes. 


Right away I knew no gluten and sugar pie 
will be great for my friends. 



I usually put at least a cup of sugar in my recipe 
when baking it for other and not myself.

However, this time because my friends are
watching their weight after the holiday so no sugar was
perfectly fine.

I like it without sugar anyways!

If your sweet potatoes are sweet enough
there is no need of putting in sugar.








Ingredients



(for mini pies like mine half the ingredients for everything , 
if baking in a regular pie/tart pan go with the ingredients listed)



Pie Crust
