Stuffed Sweet Potato Casserole
A healthier and scaled down version of traditional Sweet Potato Casserole
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoon rolled oats
- ½ cup pecans roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoon light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Wash, dry, and place sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 50 minutes or until soft. Cooking time may vary depending on size of sweet potatoes.
- Remove potatoes from oven and let cool enough to handle then scoop out the filling and place it into a bowl. Be careful to leave some of the sweet potato flesh on the skin. This will help the potatoes hold their boat-like shape.
- Mix together sweet potatoes, maple syrup, vanilla, and the egg, then carefully scoop filling back into the skins.
- Combine melted coconut oil, brown sugar, rolled oats, roughly chopped pecans cinnamon, and salt to make the pecan crumble topping.
- Evenly distribute the pecan crumble topping over the stuffed sweet potatoes. Bake for 10-15 minutes at 350 F, until filling is warmed through and topping is golden. Watch carefully as to not burn the pecans.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
The maple syrup in the sweet potato mixture can be omitted or reduced to 1 tablespoon for lower sugar content.
