Instructions 

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 176 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating, peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
• Give the potatoes a good wash. In a medium saucepan, boil enough water to cover the potatoes. Boil the potatoes for about ten minutes or until they can be easily pierced with a fork. Remove the potatoes from hot water and set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, mix together the cooked potatoes, white sugar, salt, coconut oil, cinnamon, nutmeg, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract. Combine until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.
• Transfer to a 9×13 inch baking dish. Next, chop the pecans into small pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together two tablespoons of melted butter with the brown sugar.
• Fold in the pecans, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, and salt. Sprinkle the pecan mixture of the sweet potato mixture, and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes.

Notes

• Use a potato masher to mix the potatoes! It will make things a lot simpler, but not necessary if you don’t have one to hand.
