~ Gluten & Dairy Free ~
Makes 12 Portions
​
Ingredients:
10-12 medium-large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed.
1/3 cup dairy-free butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
1 tsp pure vanilla
1 egg, beaten
​
Pecan Crumble Ingredients:
1 cup raw pecans, chopped
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white rice flour
4 tbsp dairy-free butter
Top with 1/4 cup pecans
​
1) Peel, chop and boil sweet potatoes. Boil for about 20 minutes until tender when pierced with a fork. Turn off the heat and drain. Mash the sweet potatoes.
​
2) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3) Add butter, maple syrup, vanilla, eggs and milk to cooked mashed sweet potatoes. Use a hand mixer to blend ingredients together, making potatoes smooth and creamy.
​
4) Use dairy-free butter and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish. Pour potatoes into a baking dish and smooth the top with a spoon.
​
5) To make the crumble, use a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a fork to mix the pecans, brown sugar, white rice flour, and butter (not melted). Once you have a crumble, spread it evenly over potato casserole. Then place 1/4 cup fresh pecans on top.
6) Cook at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then broil for 2 minutes so the pecan crumbles start to brown.
​
Serve warm and store in the fridge covered for up to 3 days.
