4 servings
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes (about 3 medium), peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream, warmed
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often limit warming spices like nutmeg. The trace amount used here is likely tolerated. If you prefer to always avoid nutmeg, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the sweet potato chunks in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a steady simmer and cook until completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 15–18 minutes.

Drain the sweet potatoes through a colander, then return them to the pot. Set the pot over low heat and shake gently for about 1 minute until any remaining surface moisture has evaporated.
