- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 1/2 /2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 /2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
For the Sweet Potato Casserole Crumble Topping:
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 /2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chopped Pecans
- 4 tablespoons butter softened
Gluten-Free, Nut-Free Sweet Potato Casserole Topping: (Optional)
- 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats divided
- 3/4 /4 cups brown sugar packed
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Topping: (Optional)
- 1/2 /2 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prep. Preheat oven to 350º F. Scrub sweet potatoes and boil or bake in the oven until tender.
- Make the Sweet Potato Casserole. Cool, peel and mash the sweet potatoes. Stir in granulated sugar, butter, vanilla, milk and eggs, mix well. Pour mixture into a 9x13 baking dish or individual dishes for serving.
For the Sweet Potato Casserole Pecan Crumble Topping:
- Make Pecan Crumble topping. Mix brown sugar, flour, nuts and butter together and spread evenly over sweet potato mixture.
- Bake. Bake until the topping has browned and the sweet potato casserole has set in the center, about 30 minutes.
Gluten-Free, Nut-Free Sweet Potato Casserole Crumble Topping: (Optional)
- Make oat flour. Process 1 cup of rolled oats in a blender or food processor until they resemble flour.
- Make crumble topping. Stir together the oat flour, remaining 1 cup oats, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in the melted and cooled butter and vanilla extract if using. Stir to combine. Store in the refrigerator until ready to add to the sweet potato casserole.
- Bake. Spread the crumble topping on top of the unbaked casserole, leaving clumps of the mixture in places. Bake until browned and the sweet potato casserole has set in the center, about 30 minutes.
Marshmallow Topping: (Optional)
- Bake. Bake the sweet potato casserole for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and spread the marshmallows over the top of the casserole. Return to the oven and bake the remaining 10 minutes, until brown and toasty.

Notes
- Make-Ahead Tips:
- Prepare sweet potato mixture and spread into casserole dish. Wrap tightly and store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Prepare crumble topping and store in a zip-top bag in the refrigerator. When ready to bake, remove all from the refrigerator. Spread the crumble on top of the casserole and bake as directed.
- Freezer-Friendly Tips:
- Prepare the sweet potato filling mixture and spread the filling into the casserole dish. It will be warm from the heat of the sweet potatoes. So you will need to cool it completely. Then, wrap tightly and store in the freezer up to 3 months.
- When ready to bake, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Make the crumble topping mixture and place on top of the casserole and bake as directed.
- Ingredient Substitutions:
- Sweet Potato Casserole with Gluten-free, Nut-Free Topping - For a nut-free, gluten-free topping, make my easy Oat Crumble topping using gluten-free rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, butter, and vanilla extract rather than the traditional Pecan Crumble.
- Sweet Potato Casserole with Marshmallow Topping - If you desire the optional marshmallow topping in place of the crumble topping, omit the crumble topping and sprinkle with mini marshmallows the final 10 minutes of baking.
- Dairy-Free Sweet Potato Casserole - Replace milk with your favorite dairy-free milk option such as oat milk, almond, or coconut. Replace the butter with coconut oil for a fully dairy-free option. If you need something just without lactose, you may use ghee. Note that Ghee can still include trace amounts of dairy and should be avoided for dairy allergy.
- Egg-Free Sweet Potato Casserole - Use 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce in place of the 2 eggs called for in the recipe.
