Another Sweet Potato Casserole

Is anyone thinking about Thanksgiving already, besides me?

I’ve already tried one paleo sweet potato recipe but thought I’d try another one as a side dish for one of our dinners. This one turned out pretty good — yes, pretty good. I would definitely feel comfortable serving it to any guests we might have.

There are two sets of ingredients — one for the “inside” and one for the topping. Here are the ones for the “inside:”

Those sweet potatoes will need to be baked until they’re cooked, skin removed and then mashed.

Here are the topping ingredients …

Not too many, eh?

You’ll be combining the topping ingredients all together. It will look similar to this:

After all the ingredients for the “inside” are put together they will be put in a casserole dish and then the topping will be layered on top and then baked.

Are you ready to try it?

Ingredients (for the potatoes)

  • 3 cups baked sweet potatoes, I used one large, 1 medium and 1 small
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs, beaten and at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (8 tablespoons)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Ingredients (for the topping)

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped pecans or you can use walnuts if you prefer

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  2. Bake your sweet potatoes until a fork pricked through the thickest section of the potato goes through with no resistance. (The potatoes will probably be “leaking” by now.) Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them sit until they cool.
  3. While the potatoes are cooling, work on your topping (see step 9).
  4. Once cooled, peel the potatoes and put them in a bowl then mash them well.
  5. Add the honey, eggs, butter, coconut milk, vanilla and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes.
  6. Combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  7. Add the potato mixture to a 9×9 baking dish.
  8. Place the almond flour, coconut flour, honey, salt and butter in a medium bowl.
  9. Stir to combine the ingredients well.
  10. Add the pecans to the topping mixture and stir to combine.
  11. Sprinkle the topping mixture in an even layer over the sweet potatoes.
  12. Bake for approximately 20 minutes.

My picture didn’t come out the best but this tasted great!
