1.Canned Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallows

This dish is an absolute showstopper, blending the warmth of cinnamon and vanilla with the richness of brown sugar and maple syrup. It’s a true delight for the taste buds.

2.Sweet Potato Muffins
These sweet potato muffins are as vibrant and inviting as a sweet potato biscuit, but they crank up the sweetness and spice a notch.
Feel free to toss in some chopped pecans or walnuts for added texture and flavor.
The recipe also suggests adding chocolate chips for an extra sweet twist–though I haven’t tried that yet, I can only imagine how amazing it would taste!

4.Sweet Potato Biscuits
