Healthy Simple Sweet Potato Casserole

This is a super yummy and easy sweet potato casserole recipe! It contains no refined sugar and can easily be made dairy free if you substitute the butter for coconut oil. It harkens back to a traditional sweet potato casserole but with a few alterations and without the marshmallows.

Some traditional casseroles include flour in the topping, but not mine, so this is gluten free too! This recipe is allergy friendly and perfect to bring to family gatherings!

I really like to use coconut sugar in place of refined sugar. It has a slight brown sugar taste (doesn’t taste like coconut at all!) and doesn’t affect your blood sugar like refined sugar does. It’s still sugar but a better alternative.

Thanksgiving is such a wonderful time! I love getting to be around family and this year I get to experience Thanksgiving with my husband’s side of the family. They have a tradition of always eating shrimp cocktail at the start of the meal.

My family has certain food we eat too- like my mom’s cranberry sauce and her delicious deviled eggs. With both sides of the family I always look forward to trying new dishes.

This year my dad is smoking the turkey! Talk about a turkey like I’ve never had!
