Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes and prick them with a fork. Place them on a baking tray and bake for 50-60 minutes until tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk or dairy milk as preferred.
- Maple syrup can be adjusted for sweetness, or replaced with honey for a different flavor profile.
- For a vegan alternative, use a plant-based yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
- Make sure the sweet potatoes are fully cooked to achieve the best texture when mashing.
