Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce them with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for about 45-60 minutes or until they're soft. Let them cool slightly, then peel and mash them in a large mixing bowl.
Make the Sweet Potato Mixture:
To the mashed sweet potatoes, add the coconut sugar, plant-based milk, and vanilla extract to a large bowl or casserole dish. Mash well until everything is thoroughly combined. If you made this mixture in a large bowl, transfer it to a casserole dish.
Prepare the Nut-Free Crumble Topping:
In a separate bowl, combine coconut sugar, gluten-free flour, gluten-free oats, raw sunflower seeds, Sunbutter Organic Sunflower Seed Butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated.
If the mixture seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water and mix until it has a crumbly texture.
Crumble the Topping:
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the baking dish.
Bake:
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown.
Prepare the Maple Glaze:
While the casserole is baking, make the maple glaze by combining the maple syrup and coconut butter and mix until smooth.
Drizzle and Serve:
Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the prepared maple glaze over the crumble topping while it's still warm.
Serve:
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and wholesome Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Casserole!
