Ingredients

1 cup cooked, mashed sweet potato

1/2 cup mashed banana (about 2 small)

1 cup evaporated skim milk

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

2 beaten egg yolks (or 1/3-cup egg substitute)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup raisins

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Non-stick cooking spray

Preparation

In a medium bowl, stir together sweet potato and banana. Add milk, blending well. Add brown sugar, egg yolks, and salt, mixing thoroughly.

Spray a 1-quart casserole with non-stick spray coating. Transfer sweet potato mixture to casserole.

Combine raisins, sugar, and cinnamon; sprinkle over top of sweet potato mixture. Bake in a preheated 300° F oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean.


The deep orange color of sweet potatoes is a sign that they are a good source of vitamin A and the antioxidant beta-carotene. Vitamin A and beta-carotene are good for your skin.
