Ingredients
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 2 cups bread cubes (cubes about ½" thick)
  • 1 cup pureed sweet potato
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk (I used unsweetened almond)
  • 1 tbs vegan butter (I used Earth Balance Buttery Spread)
  • 2 tbs maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • For the caramel sauce- 6 dates, 1 tbs coconut oil, ¼ cup water, 1 tbs maple syrup, dash of salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 4" springform pan or glass dish with coconut oil.
  2. Combine sweet potato, milk, butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice and salt in blender until smooth.
  3. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in bread cubes. Let mixture sit for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Use a spoon to pack mixture into springform pan. Bake for 30-25 minutes until edges are firm and golden.
  5. While pudding bakes, prepare caramel sauce by blending all sauce ingredients together until smooth. Warm in small saucepan on stove.
  6. Let pudding sit until cool enough to handle (but still warm), slice into pieces and serve with sauce.
