  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or mini tart pan with coconut oil.
  • In a food processor, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, 6 tablespoons coconut oil, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and baking soda.
  • Pulse the mixture until a cohesive dough forms that holds together when squeezed.
  • Distribute approximately 2 tablespoons of dough into each muffin cup, pressing firmly into the bottom and up the sides to form a shell.
  • Blind bake the crusts for 6 minutes until barely set, then remove from the oven and set aside.
  • In a high-speed blender, combine mashed sweet potato, coconut milk, remaining 3 tablespoons maple syrup, egg, egg yolk, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
  • Blend the filling until completely smooth and aerated.
  • Spoon the sweet potato mixture into the pre-baked shells, filling each nearly to the top of the crust.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the filling is set and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
  • Allow the tarts to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
