Sweet potato casserole cups with all the flavor and less sugar is the perfect make ahead diabetes friendly side dish.
Bake in muffin cups for easy portion control.
This recipe originally posted December 2018 and updated with all new photos, step by step instructions and expert tips.
Sweet potato casserole is a Thanksgiving side-dish that can contain many extra carbs. In order to bring carbs back into line, I made these cups without any added sugar.
The addition of a little extra cinnamon really brings out the natural flavor of the sweet potatoes. Be sure to make these in muffin liners to help make cleanup easier.

Sweet potatoes contain vitamins and minerals and also contain carbohydrate, so be sure to use portion control to keep your carb intake in check. A ½ cup serving of plain sweet potatoes usually contains 15 gm carb.
