Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Casserole {Dairy-Free Option}

Traditional Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Casserole topped with roasted marshmallows. The recipe also includes a dairy-free option. 

Sweet Potato Casserole

We are a house divided when it comes to sweet potato casserole. We all love fluffy sweet potato casserole, but my husband and I like a crunchy pecan crumble, and my kids love the marshmallows.

So, I have two gluten-free sweet potato casserole recipes on my blog. This traditional sweet potato casserole with marshmallows (with a dairy-free option) and a Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole (gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free, and no refined sugar).

Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Casserole In A Few Easy Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F degrees. In a large bowl, add the mashed sweet potatoes.
• Add the melted butter, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, pure vanilla extract cream to the mashed sweet potatoes. Beat the sweet potato mixture with an electric mixer until smooth.
• Pour the sweet potato mixture into greased casserole dish (1 1/2 quarts).
• Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the mini marshmallows and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes. Please watch your marshmallows because all ovens are different. Enjoy!
• Store leftovers in an air-tight container or cover the casserole dish with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerated. Left-overs can be reheated in the microwave or the oven.

Pro Tip

• Bake your whole sweet potatoes for 1 hour at 400°F. Allow them to cool then peel and mash.

Dairy-Free Cooking

I have also included a dairy-free option for the recipe. My husband, my youngest son, and I are all dairy-free.  The dairy-free and gluten-free sweet potato casserole were made with Smart Balance butter.

Some of my favorite dairy-free alternatives that I like to cook with are almond, cashew or coconut milk. I also like baking with coconut oil or Earth Balance or Smart Balance butter.

Thanksgiving is not complete without a Southern sweet potato casserole. This sweet potato casserole is super easy to make. It’s a classic, old-fashioned souffle sweet potato casserole, perfectly spiced and topped in the traditional way with gooey marshmallows.
