Recipe from “Fresh from Elizabeth’s Kitchen: Gluten-free & Allergy-free Recipes”
Serves 6 to 8
Ingredients:
3 lb sweet potatoes
2 large eggs* (see notes below on omitting eggs)
2 Tbsp coconut oil or margarine, melted
2 Tbsp agave nectar, preferably Nature’s Agave Amber variety
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground nutmeg
Topping:
½ cup Elizabeth’s Gluten-free Flour Blend or The Pure Pantry All Purpose Baking Mix
¼ cup firmly packed golden brown sugar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
½ cup coconut oil or margarine
½ cup chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350. Place 3 pounds of sweet potatoes in baking pan and bake until all are tender, about 1 hour.
Butter 8-by-2-inch square glad baking dish. Scrape sweet potato pulp from skins into large bowl. Using electric mixer, mash sweet potatoes. Add orange juice, eggs, melted coconut oil or margarine, agave nectar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon potatoes into prepared dish.
Combine baking mix, brown sugar, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Add coconut oil or margarine and cut in until mixture resembles course crumbs. Mix in chopped pecans. Sprinkle topping over potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm.
*To omit eggs, increase coconut oil or margarine to ½ cup and add ¼ cup more baking mix to potato mixture.

The directions for the sweet potatoe casserole above state to "add orange juice..." however, orange juice is not listed in any of the ingredients. How much orange juice is needed ?

Thank you!

I made this today for Thanksgiving dinner. It was a huge hit. Absolutely delicious, and being that my meal today was somewhat limited due to my gluten free diet, I didn't feel deprived, thanks to this dish.
Thanks so much for your wonderful products, and these recipes. I can't wait to try some of the others.
Happy Thanksgiving!
