Bring to a boil over high heat.&nbsp;Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until potatoes are very tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain well.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mash potatoes.<\/strong>&nbsp; Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and and mash using a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/IZsUK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">potato masher<\/a>&nbsp;or fork. Add in the eggs, maple syrup, milk, butter, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, mixing well with an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/IHeCv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">electric mixer<\/a>&nbsp;(or <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/S6AZy\">stand mixer<\/a>) until smooth. Feel free to add in a splash of milk if you want a creamier texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make pecan streusel topping.<\/strong>  In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, oat flour, coconut sugar, chopped pecans and butter. Mix together using a <a href=\"https:\/\/urlgeni.us\/amzn\/2iWax\">pastry blender<\/a> or your fingers until you get pea-size crumbles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assemble casserole.<\/strong>  Transfer mashed sweet potatoes to a 9&#215;13-inch or 9&#215;9-inch baking dish coated with nonstick spray. Sprinkle the oat topping over the sweet potato mixture in an even layer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake.<\/strong>  Place the sweet potato casserole in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until topping is crisp and lightly browned.  Serve immediately and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"http:\/\/anitaexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/sweet-potato-casserole-7.jpg\" alt=\"This Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole is a family favorite! A classic holiday side dish that tastes just as delicious as traditional sweet potatoes, but without any refined sugar and a wholesome pecan streusel topping!\" class=\"wp-image-31752\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepping Ahead of Time<\/h2>\n<p>One of the great things about sweet potato casseroles is that you can easily prep this ahead of time for stress-free holiday hosting! Here are some prepping options.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prep sweet potatoes 1 to 3 days early. <\/strong> Start by peeling, chopping and boiling the sweet potatoes until fork-tender. Mash them with all the ingredients called for and store in a sealed airtight container in the fridge for up to <strong>3 days<\/strong>.  When ready to assemble the casserole, just spread the potatoes into your baking dish and top with the pecan streusel. <\/li>\n<li><strong>Assemble casserole and store. <\/strong> You can also make the entire casserole ahead of time, including the streusel topping. Cover tightly with foil and store in the fridge for <strong>24 to 48 hours<\/strong> before baking. I recommend letting the casserole sit on the counter for 20 minutes or so before baking to ensure even heating and to prevent a cold center.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prep components separately.  <\/strong>Prepare both the sweet potato mixture and the pecan streusel topping, storing them in separate containers in the fridge until ready to assemble and bake. Storing them separately guarantees the crispness of the topping instead of absorbing moisture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Freeze for long-term prep.<\/strong>  This sweet potato casserole freezes beautifully and you can easily make this up to <strong>3 months<\/strong> ahead of time. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before baking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Store<\/h2>\n<p>Leftovers will last in a sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to <strong>4 days<\/strong>. To reheat, you can warm up individual portions in the microwave or bake the whole casserole in the oven at 325 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" src=\"http:\/\/anitaexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/sweet-potato-casserole-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31754\" \/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"block-pinterest-cta\">\n<div class=\"block-pinterest-cta__icon\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"block-pinterest-cta__title\">Pin this now to find it later<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&amp;media=&amp;description=\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" class=\"wp-element-button\" data-postid=\"263\" data-pin-do=\"none\" data-social-network=\"Pinterest\" data-social-action=\"Pin\">Pin It<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-instagram-cta\">\n<div class=\"block-instagram-cta__icon\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"block-instagram-cta__content\">\n<p class=\"block-instagram-cta__title\">Follow on Instagram<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a class=\"wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/eaturselfskinny\/\">Follow<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Sweet Potato Recipes<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/bourbon-maple-pecan-sweet-potatoes\/\">Bourbon Maple Pecan Sweet Potatoes<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/roasted-sweet-potato-quinoa-and-kale-salad\/\">Roasted Sweet Potato, Quinoa and Kale Salad<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/air-fryer-sweet-potato-chicken-bites\/\">Air Fryer Sweet Potato Chicken Bites<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/sweet-and-spicy-sweet-potato-fries\/\">Sweet and Spicy Sweet Potato Fries<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/lentil-and-sweet-potato-stew\/\">Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Holiday Side Dishes<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/sausage-sage-and-apple-stuffing\/\">Sausage, Apple and Herb Stuffing<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/lightened-up-green-bean-casserole\/\">Lightened-Up Green Bean Casserole<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/maple-glazed-butternut-squash-and-brussels-sprouts\/\">Maple Glazed Butternut Squash and Brussels<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/healthy-cranberry-sauce\/\">Healthy Cranberry Sauce<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/honey-butter-dinner-rolls\/\">Honey Butter Dinner Rolls<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Hope you all enjoy this Healthy Sweet Potato Casserole!
