Ingredients

Sweet potato filling:
- 4-5 large sweet potatoes
- 1 can (15oz) unsweetened coconut milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- ¼ tsp salt
Pecan oat crumble:
- 1 cup rolled oats (GF oats if preferred)
- 1 ½ cups pecans, chopped
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Wash sweet potatoes and puncture with a fork. Place on a tin foil lined cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes or until soft.
Once the sweet potatoes are soft and cooled, remove the skin and dispose. Take the sweet potato filling and add to a mixing bowl.
Turn the temperature of the oven down to 375 degrees.
Add the rest of the sweet potato filling ingredients to the bowl, and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can add all of the ingredients to a high speed blender.
Add the sweet potato filling into a greased 9x13 pan and spread out evenly.
In a separate mixing bowl, add all of the pecan oat crumble ingredients and mix well.
Sprinkle the pecan oat crumble on top of the sweet potato filling.
Bake for 25 minutes. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and serve!
