Step 2

Cook the sweet potatoes by either baking, boiling or cooking in the crockpot. Detailed instructions for each method listed in the article above.

Step 5

Once cooked and cooled, peel the sweet potatoes and place in a large bowl.

Step 8

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 11

Next, mash the cooked potatoes with a potato masher or hand mixer.

Step 14

Once the potatoes are mashed well, add the other batter ingredients and spices listed in the recipe card below. Mix thoroughly and pour into a casserole dish lined with parchment paper to keep it from sticking to the sides and bottom. See the video

Step 17

Set the casserole dish with batter to the side and begin making the very easy oat pecan crumbly topping.

Step 20

TOPPING: Begin by blending rolled oats in a blender or food processor until coarsely chopped.

Step 23

Next, place all topping ingredients in a medium-size bowl and stir together well. The flour should be damp, not dry, but also not real wet either. If it's too dry, add a little more non-dairy milk, but remember it's supposed to be crumbly.

Step 26

Spread the topping out onto the casserole dish with batter. Place in preheated oven and allow to cook for approximately 30 minutes. Oven temperatures vary, so keep an eye on it. You want it to have a golden brown top.

Step 29

Once it’s finished, remove from the oven and allow it to cool. Serve warm.
