Sweet potato egg puffs - gluten-free recipe

I can’t stop baking with sweet potatoes. Do you ever get hung up on an ingredient and just keep cooking with it until you run out of ideas? I think I promised once before to stop posting sweet potato recipes, so I am not going to make any promises this time, but I will try very hard to use a different main ingredient next time I post a recipe. Try being the operative word. 🙂

Author: Alea
Recipe type: Breakfast
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup pureed sweet potato
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. Grease ramekins. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Add all of the ingredients to a medium bowl. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine the ingredients.
  3. Divide the mixture between 4 – 4 ounce ramekins or 3 – 6 ounce* ramekins.
  4. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and cook for about 15 minutes or until they are puffed up, with golden tops, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Notes
*If you use the 4 ounce ramekins the egg puffs will rise up over the top which gives a more dramatic appearance. I used 6 ounce ramekins because there were only 3 people eating the egg puffs for breakfast.

We serve them warm and eat them right out of the ramekin. I pulled one out and cut it in half so you could see the texture in case you were visualizing some weird runny egg mixture.

My kids think these taste a bit like French toast. I think it is a great way to get veggies in them at breakfast time!

    Would this recipe work with pumpkin puree?

      Yes, it definitely works with pumpkin puree. You may want to add just a little more sugar since pumpkin isn’t quite as sweet as sweet potatoes.

    Iris, you can make these in regular 6 ounce coffee cups. I know egg puffs can be made in a casserole dish, but this recipe is for pretty small quantities so I think it would need to be doubled to work in even a small casserole dish.

    I am still playing with egg puffs so I will let you know as I learn more.

    BTW, my youngest who doesn't care for sweets calls these his "favorite cupcakes". 🙂

    Don't stop making things with sweet potato! It's one of my favorite ingredients too!

    Do you think these could be made in a regular baking/casserole dish? Alas, my ramekins are back in storage in MA.

    I have never thought of cooking an egg puff in the microwave. I will definitely have to give that a try!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
