Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Mixture
- 6 cups cooked, peeled, mashed sweet potatoes (4 large or 6 medium sweet potatoes)
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg
Pecan Streusel
- ½ cup pecans, roughly chopped
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tbsp butter, softened
- 3 tbsp gf flour
Marshmallow Topping
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×12 baking dish and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the sweet potato mixture and spread the mixture in the greased 9×12 baking dish. Set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the ingredients for the pecan streusel together with a fork. This might take a little while to do, but keep pressing everything together with the fork until it all combines into large, flakey bits with pecans in them.
- Top the sweet potato mixture with the marshmallows, then scatter the pecan mixture on top of that, careful not to break up the chunks of streusel too much as you scatter.
- Bake for 25 min until golden brown on top and enjoy!
Notes
- You can mix the pecan topping and marshmallows for the topping by rotating the marshmallows and the pecan streusel over the top of the sweet potato mixture and then baking.
- Store in the fridge for 3- 5 days, covered tightly with plastic wrap, or in an airtight container.
- To freeze the gluten-free sweet potato casserole, prepare it just as you would normally, but do not top it with anything or bake it. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil. Place the (freezer-safe) wrapped casserole dish into the freezer for up to 2 months.
