For an even creamier sweet potato mixture, you can add a splash of heavy cream or more milk to the mixture before baking. To make this recipe vegan, substitute the butter for vegan butter or coconut oil, and use a non-dairy milk like almond milk. To make this recipe gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend in place of regular flour.
