Instructions
Sweet Potatoes
- Bring a large pot of water to boil on high heat.
- Place the potatoes in the pot, making sure to cover them completely with water. Cook the potatoes for 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Rotate the potatoes in the pot halfway through for even cooking and add more water to the pot if needed.
- Drain the potatoes in the sink over a colander and let them slightly cool.
- After the potatoes are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl.
- Mash them with a potato masher until there are no lumps.
- Add the coconut milk, butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and nutmeg into the mixture and stir together with a large spoon until creamy. Set aside.
Topping
- Roughly chop the pecans and dates and then add it to a medium mixing bowl.
- Add to the mixing bowl the pumpkin seeds, ground cinnamon, almond flour and butter. Mix thoroughly with a large spoon until combined.
Assemble Sweet Potato Casserole
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread the sweet potato into an even layer in a medium sized baking dish. Then sprinkle on the topping mixture and cover the dish with foil.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Let it cool once you take it out of the oven, about 10 minutes, then serve.
