Why This Recipe Is So Good

  • This casserole is both VEGAN and gluten-free! Amazing, right?
  • Super simple to make. Mash the cooked potatoes and mix everything together, and you will bask in the sweet aromas while this casserole bakes.
  • It’s perfect for anytime of the year, and it’s definite crowd pleaser.

What Makes This Casserole Healthy?

This sweet potato casserole is healthier than most simple due to the fact that it is filled with MOSTLY clean ingredients! For those who eat a plant-based and gluten-free diet, then this recipe is just for you.

Sweet potatoes are loaded with all types of minerals, nutrients, vitamins, and fiber, and they are great additions to most lifestyles. The pecans in this recipe allow some additional benefits such as healthy fats and protein.

How To Make It

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 176 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating, peel and cube the sweet potatoes.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove the potatoes from hot water and set aside to cool.
  4. 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.
  5. Next, chop the pecans into small pieces. In a medium bowl, mix together two tablespoons of melted coconut oil with the brown sugar. Fold in the pecans, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, and salt.
  6. Sprinkle the pecan mixture of the sweet potato mixture, and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes.
