Ingredients

FOR THE CASSEROLE

  • 4-5 large organic sweet potatoes (about 2 lb. sweet potatoes)
  • 1 tbsp Pure Pluck seasoning
  • 4 tbsp grass-fed butter
  • 4 tbsp organic maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp organic whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp Himalayan salt

FOR THE TOPPING

  • 3 tbsp grass-fed butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup organic oats
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup organic pecan pieces
  • 1 cup marshmallows
  • Cinnamon for topping

Directions

Step 1

Peel and clean sweet potatoes. Chop sweet potatoes into about 1 ½ inch cubes.

Step 2

Add chopped potatoes to a pot of water and boil for about 20 minutes or until fork tender. 

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 4

Once done, drain potatoes and put them into a bowl of a stand mixer. Begin by turning the mixer to low speed. Add in Pure Pluck seasoning, butter, maple syrup, milk, cinnamon, and salt. Once fully mixed, turn the mixer to medium-high speed and begin to whip sweet potatoes for about 5 minutes.


Note: This recipe uses cinnamon to give it its unique flavor. You can also use Pumpkin Pie spice in place of cinnamon here.

Step 5

Place sweet potato mixture into a greased casserole or baking dish. I use a 7.5” by 6” rectangular baking dish.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine melted butter, oats, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a fork or your hands to fully coat the mixture with the butter for browning. Place mixture on top of the sweet potatoes forming a crust-like topping. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of this mixture. Then top with pecan pieces and marshmallows.


If you want to omit the marshmallows or don’t have them, you can. Instead, I would suggest doubling the topping mixture and using more of that in that case. This recipe makes a great gluten-free side dish for the holidays if you ensure the oats are certified gluten-free.

Step 7

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the marshmallows are toasted.
