Paleo Sweet Potato Casserole
We are trying to eat fewer gains, so I have been creating more and more Paleo recipes. Paleo just means gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and no refined sugars.
Thanksgiving Side Dishes
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.

Susan says
I made this casserole tonight for dinner and once again, I was impressed with the outcome. I cut the recipe in half and had to substitute honey for the maple syrup. But it was fine. The only thing I’d do next time is use less sugar in the topping. Audrey, I didn’t see where the cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger were added in the directions and I almost left those out!!!! It’s a good recipe & I’ll use it again. Thanks for another good one!.
Audrey says
Thank you so much Susan for the wonderful 5-star review! I am so happy that you enjoyed the sweet potato casserole. Thank you for catching that the spices were missing in the directions. I fixed it. Thanks again!
Geneva says
Can I use another flour in place of the coconut flour for the topping.
Audrey says
Hi Geneva! You could use another gluten-free flour in place of the coconut flour. I hope you enjoy it!
Christine says
I made this at Thanksgiving! Everyone liked it but commented it tasted more like a dessert. Going to make it again tomorrow for Christmas dinner and halve the maple syrup in the sweet potatoes and halve the coconut sugar in the topping. I just know it’s going to be a winner!
