Description

Gluten Free, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free

This sweet potato casserole tastes just like Grandma used to make, but is healthier by using a sweet potato apple blend in the filling, coconut sugar in the topping, and is gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free.  Serve it warm with some ice cream for a perfect ending to your Thanksgiving dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

Filling:

  • 4-5 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 medium apples (I used red delicious)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tbsp organic agave nectar
  • 1/2 cup cashew milk

Topping:

  • 1 cup gluten free rolled oats (I used Bob’s Red Mill)
  • 1/2 cup oat flour (learn how to make your own here!)
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 (heaping) tbsp brown coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp organic agave nectar
  • Optional: a handful of mini marshmallows


Instructions

Filling:

  1. Peel and chop your sweet potatoes and apples into small pieces.
  2. Combine sweet potatoes, apples, and all other filling ingredients into a large crock pot.
  3. Cook on high for 3 hours, until sweet potatoes and apples are soft.
  4. Add milk.
  5. Using a hand mixer or potato masher (I went with the mixer to obtain a smoother texture) blend until smooth.

Topping:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
  2. Place oats on a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper and cook to get them crispy, about 10-15 minutes. (Can broil to speed this up, just watch CLOSELY).
  3. Make your oat flour (directions here).
  4. Take your pre-measured chop nuts and blend in food processor to get them extra small.
  5. Combine cooked oats, oat flour, and nuts in a small mixing bowl.
  6. Slowly add brown sugar to evenly disperse.
  7. Slowly add agave nectar, also to evenly disperse, so entire mixture is somewhat moist.

 Cooking:

  1. Place filling in a pre-greased baking pan.
  2. Cover evenly with topping
  3. Cook for about 20 minutes, until filling is warm and topping starts to brown.
  4. Broil for about 3-5 minutes to get topping extra crispy (note: WATCH CLOSELY – don’t let it burn).
  5. Optional: Take out, turn oven down to 250F, and sprinkle mini marshmallows on top.  Place back in oven just until marshmallows melt and start to brown (10-15 minutes max).
