Instructions
- Place the chopped sweet potatoes in a pot filled with water just enough to cover them. Cook for 10-15 minutes, or until tender.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Once the potatoes are done, drain and mash them. Stir in the eggs, maple syrup salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well then spread the mixture in a 2-quart casserole dish.
- In a mixing bowl, add oat flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, and nuts. Stir until crumbly then sprinkle the topping all over the mashed potatoes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until tops are golden and crispy. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use whatever chopped nuts you like.
- Don't overwork the mash. You don’t want a super smooth mash for potato casserole because it won’t hold together properly. A coarser mash gives the casserole its character and body.
- You don't need to add sugar. Although brown sugar is often used in classic sweet potato casseroles, this recipe does have built-in sweetness!
- Use a preheated oven.
- For a deeper flavor to your nuts, toast them up!
- Ideally, let this Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole stand at room temperature for around 10 minutes before serving.
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Optional nuts for toppings: pecans, walnuts, pistachios, cashews, etc.
