Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
- Olive oil spray
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 cup pecans or walnuts
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons brown monk fruit sweetener
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 cup fat free milk
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- 1
Begin by setting your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a fork to poke holes in the sweet potatoes and arrange them on a baking sheet.
- 2
Roast the potatoes in the oven until they are soft, which should take approximately 1 to 1 hour and 15 minutes. Once done, take them out and allow them to cool until they are manageable to touch.
- 3
While the potatoes are cooling, prepare your baking vessel by lightly coating a 9 x 9 inch dish, a 9-inch pie pan, or a 2-quart oven-safe container with cooking spray; set it aside.
- 4
Once the sweet potatoes have cooled, peel off their skins and mash them in a large mixing bowl using a fork or a potato masher.
- 5
To the mashed potatoes, incorporate the milk, maple syrup, salt, spices, and eggs, then mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- 6
Transfer this sweet potato blend into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to level the surface.
- 7
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mix together the nuts, flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- 8
Add the melted butter or coconut oil to the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly combined.
- 9
Distribute this topping mixture evenly over the sweet potato layer in the baking dish.
- 10
Place the casserole in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping has turned a lovely golden brown. Once finished, take it out of the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.
