How To Cook Sweet Potato Souffle
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Wash the sweet potatoes and then microwave them. Poke a few holes in them using a fork and then roll each up in a paper towel. Microwave for about 5-6 minutes per potato. For 2 potatoes, cook for 10 minutes total.
Slice cooked sweet potatoes in half, then scoop out insides and place soft filling in food processor (or mixing bowl if using masher).
Slice up 4 tablespoons of butter and also add to food processor. Crack in 3 eggs.
Add in remaining ingredients: vanilla, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in food processor until smooth.
Prep a 2 qt. baking dish with nonstick spray or brush with melted butter. Pour in souffle ingredients and smooth out top with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 45 minutes and enjoy!

Why Is My Sweet Potato Souffle Runny?
This can be the result of overcooking the sweet potatoes. Microwave them until they are soft, or about 5-6 minutes per potato. Also, most souffles have a bit of a runnier texture in the center. This is totally normal.
