Instructions

Cook the sweet potatoes:
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks.
  3. Boil the sweet potato chunks in a large pot of water until they are tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.
Mash the sweet potatoes:
  1. Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a large mixing bowl and mash them until smooth. You can use a potato masher or a hand mixer.
  2. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Make the pecan streusel topping:
  1. In a separate bowl, combine the chopped pecans, oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add the solid coconut oil or butter, and use your fingers or a fork to crumble everything together until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Assemble the casserole:
  1. Spread the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Sprinkle the pecan streusel topping evenly over the top.
Bake
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.
Serve
  1. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
