Lightened Up Sweet Potato Casserole

Thanksgiving is the best! I love the real deal traditional nostalgic recipes for holidays and that’s why I don’t share many healthy swaps for the classics because it’s just one meal, no biggie✌🏼. BUT I’ve made this every year over the last 13 years or so and brought it to Thanksgiving though and it’s always gone, and nobody knows it’s healthy-fied💯🤓🍑 and love to enjoy the leftovers AND be back to my usual feel good~balanced blood sugar self ASAP. So I’m making this again this year to have all week with the leftover turkey, cottage cheese, or even with eggs at breakfast.

Savor the delightful essence of Lightened Up Sweet Potato Casserole, a guilt-free rendition of the classic favorite. This wholesome dish combines the rich flavors of mashed sweet potatoes, blended with creamy Greek yogurt, and subtly sweetened with monk fruit. Topped with a delectable mixture of crunchy pecans, coconut flour, and butter, each bite is a harmonious balance of textures and tastes. Baked to golden perfection, this casserole promises to be a highlight of any gathering, offering comfort and nourishment with every spoonful.

3. Add eggs, monk fruit, yogurt, vanilla, & salt. Mix until combined.

4. Place the mixture in a greased 8x11 or 9x13 glass dish.

5. Make topping- mix pecans, monk fruit, coconut flour, and 1/2 stick softened butter in a small bowl. Use the back of a fork or pastry cutter to make a crumble.

6. Add topping evenly over potatoes and bake at 350° 35-40 min. Mine usually takes 40 min. Makes 8 - 1 cup servings
