Ingredients

For the Sweet Potato Mash:

  • 1 3/4 to 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 3 tbsp dairy-free butter (i.e. Country Crock plant butter or Earth Balance)
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp salt

For the Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup dairy-free butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup pecans

Instructions

  1. Take your peeled chopped sweet potatoes and place them in a medium size pot. Fill the pot with water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for about 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
  2. About 5 minutes before the potatoes are done, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. When the potatoes are tender, drain them, pour into a large bowl, add the almond milk, and mash. Add the vegan butter and let sit in the potatoes for a few minutes to melt.

  4. With a fork, whisk the egg into the sweet potatoes, then stir in the brown sugar, vanilla, and salt.

  5. Pour the sweet potatoes into a casserole dish.
  6. Next, prepare the topping: mix together the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in the vegan butter until the mixture looks crumbly. Mix in the pecans.
  7. Pour the topping over the sweet potatoes in the casserole dish. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are hot and the topping is a nice light golden color. Enjoy!
