Note

Storage: Cover with foil or plastic wrap once cooled. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven before serving.

Substitutions: For a vegan version, substitute the eggs with flax eggs or a commercial egg replacer. You can also use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil for a subtle flavor twist.

Tip: Ensure the sweet potatoes are grated finely for a smoother texture. If the batter seems too wet, you can add an extra tablespoon of flour.

Serving: This pudding can be served warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with a dollop of coconut cream or a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
