Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Bananas with Honey Recipe
Make sure to REPIN this recipe
Now that Thanksgiving is over I still am craving sweet potato casserole – but I wanted to change it up.
Seriously if you have not had whipped sweet potatoes and bananas together it if a MUST!
If you make this recipe or any other recipe please take a picture and put it on instagram use the #budgetsavvydiva so I can check it out 🙂
Before anyone points out – yes I am using yams in this recipe instead of sweet potatoes ( which are white) – you could use sweet potatoes but I really wanted that bright orange color for the casserole
Phew – now that is done with we can talk about how crazy bananas look when you bake them
Ready for it?
Do you see the bananas in the pan? The skins turn brown when you bake them — I personally thought that was pretty cool
Here is my dad mashing everything together for the casserole ( thanks Dad!)
Now let’s see some close up shots
Doesn’t that look yummy – trust me it is 🙂 SOOOO yummy in the tummy
Thanks Dad again for holding the plate of food while I took the picture
