Healthier sweet potato casserole that’s low sugar, gluten-free, and grain-free with a pecan cookie crumble. Perfect to share with family as a holiday side!

Ingredients

Sweet Potato Casserole

  • 4–5 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean and halved
  • 1 flax egg (1 TBSP ground flaxseed + 3 TBSP filtered water)
  • 1/4 cup almond milk
  • 1 TBSP coconut oil (or sub another TBSP almond milk if oil-free)
  • 1 TBSP maple syrup (optional, for sweeter casserole)
  • dash of cinnamon

Pecan Cookie Crumble

  • 2 bags Sejoyia Vanilla Maple Coco-Roons, crumbled
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • dash of cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Lightly grease a casserole dish with coconut oil and set aside.
  3. Add the scrubbed sweet potato halves to the baking dish, facedown, and bake them for ~30 minutes, or until they’re fork tender. Once done, flip them over with a spatula and allow them to cool slightly.
  4. Mix up the flax egg in a large mixing bowl and allow it to gel for about 5-10 minutes.
  5. Remove the skins from the slightly cooled potatoes and add the sweet potato flesh to the flax egg mixing bowl with the almond milk, optional coconut oil, maple syrup, and a dash of cinnamon. Mash them lightly with a fork to combine.
  6. Add the sweet potato casserole mash to the casserole dish and spread it into an even layer with a spoon or spatula.
  7. Mix the toppings in a small bowl by mixing the crumbled Coco-Roons with the chopped pecans, maple syrup, and cinnamon with your hands until it’s a sticky rough crumble.
  8. Crumble the topping over the sweet potato casserole in en even layer.
  9. Transfer the casserole dish to the oven and bake it for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potato mash is warm and the Coco-Roon crumble is slightly brown and fragrant. Watch the dish closely in the last 5 minutes to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  10. Serve the casserole warm from the oven. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-5 days and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
