Dairy Free Sweet Potato Casserole

This Dairy Free Sweet Potato Casserole is made without butter and without milk. This Southern classic is perfect for Thanksgiving and any other time you get the craving.

Sweet potato casserole is a traditional Southern Thanksgiving side dish.

If you’re a Northerner like me, you may be confused by the idea that something so dessert-like is actually a side dish, but it’s true.

The dessert version is (dairy free) sweet potato pie, which is in fact sweeter (and nowhere near as sweet as my favorite dairy free pumpkin pie).

However, whether you’re from the Deep South, or from the Northern United States and curious about this dish, it won’t disappoint with this dairy free sweet potato casserole!

I actually knew an English guy who moved to the States, and not only celebrated Thanksgiving, but also told me one of his favorite dishes is sweet potato casserole. How is that for surprising?

Often, sweet potato casserole is made with marshmallows baked on top.

I opted for a sweet potato casserole with a crumble topping.

But, if you prefer, you can switch out the crumble for marshmallows, and bake it like that.

Also, if you prefer more texture in your casserole, you can skip the mixer and use a potato masher instead.

For an egg free dairy free sweet potato casserole, you can actually just leave out the egg.

Since this is a Thanksgiving recipe, the quantity is pretty large to accommodate a large gathering. So, if you’re going to have a smaller group of loved ones around your Thanksgiving table, you’ll probably want to halve the recipe.
