Step-by-Step Instructions for Sweet Potato Casserole
  1. Scrub the sweet potatoes clean. For Instant Pot, place on a trivet with 1 cup water, seal lid, and cook on high for 15 minutes. Allow natural release for 10 minutes. For oven, poke holes and bake at 425°F for 45-50 minutes until tender.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon. Mix well.
  3. Once peeled, mash the sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add dairy-free butter, maple syrup, coconut milk, gluten-free flour, cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix until creamy.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9"x13" baking dish. Spread the sweet potato filling evenly and sprinkle the pecan topping on top.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
  6. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or as a dessert.
