Ingredients
6-8
sweet potatoes
¼
cup
butter
(or coconut oil)
½
tsp
salt
¼
tsp
cinnamon
½
tsp
vanilla
"Marshmallow" Topping (optional)
5
egg whites
⅓
cup

Instructions
In a 425°F oven, bake the sweet potatoes about 40-50 minutes or until soft.
Cool slightly.
Remove peels and mash with butter or coconut oil, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Spread evenly into a 9x13 baking dish.
For the "Marshmallow" Topping (optional)
In a double boiler or small pan with water and a glass bowl on top, whip the egg whites with a hand blender until fluffy.
Add the honey to the egg whites and place the double boiler on the stove, turning on the heat to medium.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, whisk the egg white and honey mix as it heats until thick and fluffy.
Spread the topping over the sweet potatoes and put in the oven and broil for a minute or two to brown.
Notes
You could make the sweet potato part of this recipe ahead of time and reheat it in the oven while you're making the topping.
