Sweet Potato Casserole (gluten free!)

Gluten Free Dairy Free Sweet Potato Casserole for holiday and ThanksgivingParticipating in last week’s Ultimate Friendsgiving post motivated me to spend a little time organizing my holiday recipes.  After all, Thanksgiving is only 9 days away and Christmas is around the corner…but who’s counting 😉  I want to be prepared and ready for the season!  

When it comes to holiday cooking/eating my goal is to savor, yet maintain balance.  There are some recipes I would never change, that are meant to be enjoyed as-is (hello, biscochitos!).  But, there are others that could use an overhaul, to make them more healthy without compromising flavor.  This sweet potato casserole recipe is one of them!

Gluten Free Dairy Free Sweet Potato Casserole for holiday and Thanksgiving I wish I would have experimented with it sooner, because I think this version is even better than the original!  My mother in law came over the day after I made this and confirmed it…it’s one of her faves too!  I’ve been making this yearly, since the first thanksgiving we hosted.  It’s light, and airy with a gooey/crumbly topping for a touch of sweetness.  There are times I’ve had this for dessert instead of pie.  It’s that good!  

Gluten Free Dairy Free Sweet Potato Casserole for holiday and ThanksgivingFor this recipe I subbed out the half and half for nutpods french vanilla, reduced the amount/used maple sugar instead of brown sugar, almond flour in place of regular flour in the topping, and ghee (clarified butter) in place of butter.   To cut down the sugar further you can go lighter on the topping.  Our family loves topping in every bite so I’m more heavy handed on that!  Note:  You can taste the hint of vanilla from nutpods, so if that’s not your favorite, original nutpods are also a great choice!  Save 15% on nutpods with code loubiesandlulu.  I also used Dandies All Natural Marshmallows in place of the traditional variety….
