Sweet potato casserole

For the potatoes

• 4 Sweet Potatoes

• 1 tsp ground Cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp Mace (or Nutmeg if not on AIP)

• 1 tsp Sea Salt

• 2 tbsp Honey (or Maple syrup)

For the topping

• 3/4 cup sliced Tigernuts

• 1/2 cup Banana Chips

• 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar (Or Maple Sugar; you can use less if desired)

• 1/4 cup Avocado oil (Or coconut oil, or Olive Oil)

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat the oven to 425 F. Poke several holes in the sweet potatoes with a fork or knife and then place in the oven for 1 hour. Once done, let cool until you’re able to handle them, remove the skins and put the flesh of the sweet potatoes into a bowl.

• Add the other ingredients for the potatoes and then use a hand mixer or potato masher to mix them until smooth. Scoop into a baking dish.

• Mix the toppings ingredients in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the top of the sweet potato mash. (If making ahead of time,stop at this point and put in the fridge until close to serving.)

• Bake for an additional 20 minutes.

NOTES

This is a great recipe to make ahead of time and then just reheat for dinner. You can even make homemade AIP marshmallows to go on top as well – super yum!

Ingredients

Filling

• 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled if desired and boiled (about 4 cups mashed)

• 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk without guar gum (for AIP)

• 3/4 cup coconut sugar adjust to desired sweetness

• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1/4 tsp pink sea salt

Crumb Topping

• 1/2 cup coconut sugar

• 1/2 cup coconut flour

• 1/2 cup coconut oil (room temp, not melted)

• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease an 8x8" glass baking dish.

• Mash the sweet potatoes. In a large bowl, mix in the coconut milk, coconut sugar, vanilla, and sea salt with the sweet potatoes until well incorporated.

• Spoon the sweet potato filling into the glass dish and distribute it evenly.

• Make the crumb topping by combining the topping ingredients in a small bowl. Be careful not to stir them too vigorously or all the crumbles will break- leave some intact.

• Pour the crumb topping on top of the filling and distribute it evenly.

• Bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then serve.
