Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole {Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free}

A Southern classic with a Paleo twist. Fluffy sweet potato casserole topped with a crunchy pecan crumble. Gluten-free, dairy-free, grain-free and no refined sugar. 

We are trying to eat fewer gains, so I have been creating more and more Paleo recipes. One of my favorite Thanksgiving side dishes is sweet potato casserole. I knew that it would be easy for me to modify my gluten-free sweet potato casserole recipe to be Paleo. With just a few simple substitutions, my favorite sweet potato casserole recipe is now Paleo (dairy-free, grain-free and no refined sugar). 

I promise you won’t know that this is a Paleo sweet potato casserole.  Oh, unless you want it covered in marshmallows! So for my kids, I’ll add marshmallows to one side, because it’s their favorite part.
