Sweet Potato Casserole

This recipe is a one of our favorites for a side dish for the holidays, typically Christmas. It is easy and can be made ahead of time. Serves 8.

Ingredients

• 5 sweet potatoes or yams

• 1/2 cup cashew milk

• 1/2 cup brown sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• 1/4 nutmeg (can add a liittle more if you like)

• 1 tsp coconut oil

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

• Topping - 1/2 cup granola, 1/4 cup crushed pecans, 1 Tbs coconut oil

Directions

1. Bake the sweet potatoes until soft, then cool, remove skin, and mash

2. Add all ingredients together (except the topping ingredients)

3. For the topping, melt the coconut oil in a skillet. Add the granola and pecans and mix.

4. Put the sweet potato casserole in a baking dish, spread the topping on top. Warm up at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

*If you make ahead of time, don’t add the topping until ready to warm up so the granola doesn’t get soggy.

**You can also make a completely different topping of vegan marshmellows. My brother Adrian loves this.
