SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
3 pounds (1.3kg) sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
¼ cup unsweetened oat milk or other non-dairy milk
2 tablespoons butter can use vegan, as needed
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Topping:
½ cup (45g) rolled oats
¼ cup (28g) fine almond flour
2 tablespoons (30g) coconut sugar
⅓ cup (40g) chopped pecans
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ cup (60ml) melted butter or liquid coconut oil
Put the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until very soft, 20-25 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Drain the sweet potatoes, return them to the pan or transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the oat milk, butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. Mash until smooth, with a potato masher, or puree with an immersion blender. Scrape the mixture into a 3-quart baking dish and smooth the top.
Make the topping: Combine the oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, pecans, salt and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Stir in the butter until the mixture clumps together.

Sprinkle the topping over the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven 25-30 minutes, until the topping is crisp and golden brown.
Notes
Make ahead - Assemble the casserole in the baking dish with the topping or store the topping separately and add just before baking, cover and keep refrigerated up to 1 day ahead of baking.
Storing leftovers - store any leftover healthy sweet potato casserole covered in the baking pan or in separate, airtight containers in the fridge for up to four days.
To reheat - simply rewarm a portion of the casserole in the microwave, or feel free to reheat the entire baking dish if you’d like to warm up more than one serving.
