Servings: 9
- 6 cups diced sweet potato peeled (approx. 3 large sweet potatoes)
- 1/2 cup oat milk or milk of choice
- 1/4 cup butter regular or vegan
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
for the topping:
- 3/4 cup rolled oats see notes for oat-free version
- 1/3 cup oat flour or sub almond flour
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup butter regular or vegan, melted
Add diced sweet potatoes to a large pot, then fill it with water so that the potatoes are covered by one inch. Bring to a boil, then continue boiling until the potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork, 8-10 minutes. Drain, then place the potatoes back into the pot.
Preheat oven to 350° then grease a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
Add the milk, butter, vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to the pot, then use a potato masher to mash the potatoes; transfer them to your prepared baking dish, using the back of a spoon to smooth them out.
Next, make the topping. In a large bowl, stir the oats, flour, pecans, brown sugar, and salt together; then, pour the melted butter overtop and stir to combine. Sprinkle the topping over the sweet potatoes.
Bake the casserole for 25-30 minutes. Remove it from the oven and wait 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
