Ingredients
This Weight Watchers Sweet Potato Soufflé features a filling made with four medium-large sweet potatoes, sweetened with a blend of granulated and brown sugar replacements. Two eggs, almond milk, light butter substitute, and a pinch of salt complete the creamy filling. The topping combines brown sugar replacement, flour, cinnamon, salt, chopped pecans, and light butter substitute for a crunchy, flavorful layer. Perfectly balanced for a deliciously light and satisfying side dish!

Variations and Substitutions

For a sweet twist on Sweet Potato Soufflé, you can try a marshmallow topping using sugar-free or low-sugar marshmallows to keep Weight Watchers points low—just bake the sweet potato mixture first, then sprinkle marshmallows and broil to toast. If you’d like a bit of texture, mix raisins into the filling for a nice contrast with the topping. For milk, I recommend unsweetened almond milk as a low-point choice, though fat-free or any milk will work. If you prefer regular sugar over sweetener, use the same measurements for both granulated and brown sugar; just note that it may raise the points, so dividing the soufflé into 15 servings can help balance it out.
Tips and Tricks

For a smooth and creamy Weight Watchers Sweet Potato Soufflé, mash the sweet potatoes thoroughly using a potato masher, or for an even silkier texture, blend the mixture in a food processor, adding a touch more milk if needed. To avoid burning the nuts on top, keep an eye on the baking time; if the topping is browned but the filling isn’t hot enough, cover the dish with foil and continue baking until fully heated. You can bake the sweet potatoes instead of boiling for added flavor. For a smaller batch, halve the recipe and use an 8-inch pan, yielding about 6-8 servings.
