Classic Sweet Potato Casserole


Prep: 10 min Cook: 35 min Total: 45 min

Servings: 10


Ingredients


Sweet Potato Layer

  • 2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes cooked and mashed (about 4 med) 

  • 1/3 cup ghee or refined coconut oil, melted

  • 1/4 cup dairy free milk (I used full fat coconut)

  • 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar or maple sugar

  • 2 large egg

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp fine grain sea salt



Pecan layer

  • 1 1/2 cups pecans

  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes unsweetened

  • 1/4 cup organic coconut sugar or maple sugar

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil refined, or ghee, softened

  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt


Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 1 1/2 qt. Casserole dish with coconut oil.

  • mash your cooked sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients for the sweet potato layer and use a whisk or electric mixer to blend until smooth.

  • Transfer mixture to prepared casserole dish and smooth the top.

  • For the pecan layer, you can use a food processor to make the chopping easier. Just place all ingredients in your processor and pulse until a crumbly mixture forms. Don’t over process or a nut butter will form! Alternatively, you can chop the pecans by hand and mix all ingredients in a bowl.

  • Sprinkle all the pecan topping over the sweet potato mixture in the dish, and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until filling is bubbly (you won’t see it but you’ll hear it!) and the topping is toasty brown.

  • Allow to cool a bit before serving. Enjoy! Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
