Lower Points Southern Sweet Potato Casserole Direction:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
- In a large pot of water, boil the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl, then mash until smooth.
- Add the almond milk, melted light butter, sugar substitute, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the oats, chopped pecans, melted light butter, brown sugar substitute, and ground cinnamon to make the topping.
- Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the greased baking dish and sprinkle the oat and pecan topping evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
