These adorable Mini Paleo Sweet Potato Tarts are the perfect little treats for the holiday season. So delicious!
I am not big on baking, but when the weather gets cooler, I get a hankering for sweet baked treats. While half of the time, I have to try out my dessert recipes a few times to get them right, the baking gods were with me when I made these Mini Paleo Sweet Potato Tarts and they turned out absolutely perfect on the first try. Those are the days when I feel like I conquered the world.
I recently stopped at Walmart to pick up a few essentials and found these newly reformulated Silk® Almondmilks in the refrigerated dairy section with the label stating “new silky smooth taste you’ll love.” I was instantly intrigued. After seeing that they do not contain carrageenan and there are unsweetened options, I ended up buying both Silk® Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk and Silk® Unsweetened Almondmilk.
I usually make my own almond milk at home, but I love that I can find these great options when I’m in a pinch. I was pleasantly surprised by how creamy and tasty they both were, and I’ve been enjoying them in my coffee every morning. I just love that there are so many dairy-free milk options in the market these days!
Besides adding them to my hot drinks, I also used Silk® Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk for the filling for these Mini Paleo Sweet Potato Tarts, and these turned out to be the perfect Fall treat!
I just love how comforting sweet potato desserts are, and you usually don’t need to add much sweetener because they are already naturally sweet. I think you’ll love these Mini Paleo Sweet Potato Tarts because the soft, pillow-like filling tastes pretty amazing inside the flaky, tender crust.
Also, can we talk about how cute they are? I can easily pick them up with two fingers, and it’s a great way to indulge without feeling like you have to commit to a big ol’ pie (Not that there’s anything wrong with that!).

These adorable Mini Paleo Sweet Potato Tarts are the perfect little treats for the holiday season. So delicious!
Ingredients
Crust
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup tapioca starch
- 6 tbsp coconut oil or more
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Sweet Potato Filling
- 1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup Silk® Unsweetened Vanilla Almondmilk
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with coconut oil.
-
Place all ingredients for the crust in a food processor and pulse several times to mix together. Mold the mixture with your hand to see if it can form a dough. If it's too dry, add more coconut oil until it reaches the right consistency.
-
Drop 2 rounded tablespoons of the dough into each muffin cup. Use your hands to press the dough to the bottom and the sides to form a shell.
-
Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
-
Place all ingredients for the Sweet Potato Filling in a blender and blend just until mixed.
-
Use a spoon to fill each shell with the filling. You can let it overfill a bit to get a puffy filling look.
-
Bake for 20 minutes.
-
Let cool for 15 minutes, then use a small knife to raise the tarts from the muffin tin.
-
Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
