Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet potato casserole is a classic dish that many come to expect at the holidays. This one is made with more clean, wholesome ingredients so you can enjoy it without so much of the guilt. It’s a healthy sweet potato casserole that the whole family will enjoy!

How do I make this sweet potato casserole?

1. Mix the sweet potato, coconut sugar, butter, vanilla, salt, milk and eggs together by hand or with an electric mixer, and place it into a greased pan.
2. Melt butter, add coconut sugar and stir until dissolved. Stir in almond flour and pecans. Combine until well mixed and crumbly and sprinkle topping.
3. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes in a small casserole dish.

It really is as easy as all of that! I use my Instant Pot to make the sweet potatoes because they come out perfect every time and I can mash them right up! You can bake them or boil them or use whatever method makes you happy!
