Best Ever Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe – No Eggs

Before losing 125 pounds, I used to LOVE the sickening sweet version, but now as I have changed my diet, my tastes have changed, too.  I want to taste the sweetness of the sweet potatoes and pineapple, not the sugar.

Even though I loved the sweet original casserole dish, I have never been one for the mini marshmallow-topped, ooey, gooey traditional sweet potato casserole.  I much prefer this crunchy pecan-topped sweet potato recipe, and I think you will, too.

I found the basis for this recipe the first year I was married many years ago.  As time has passed, I have tweaked it and healthified it, and now it is the best eggless sweet potato casserole recipe (if I do say so myself).

The original recipe started as a sickeningly sweet, almost dessert-like casserole, but over many holiday seasons, I have changed it, and it has now morphed into this amazing, healthy sweet potato casserole recipe.

Ingredients for Best Ever Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe (No Eggs)

You can find the full recipe card, including ingredient quantities, full instructions, and nutrition information below.

But first, here are some explanations of the main ingredients and steps to help you make this delicious eggless sweet potato casserole recipe.

What makes this the perfect side dish are the wholesome, simple ingredients that happen to make it dairy-free and vegan. You can make this sweet potato casserole vegan gluten free by simply using gluten-free flour and gluten-free oats in the pecan streusel topping.

I’m going to give you the long, healthier version of this vegan sweet potato casserole recipe, but if you are crunched for time (no judgment here), then use canned sweet potatoes and pineapple (organic, if possible) and save yourself some time.

Don’t let the long list of ingredients scare you.  Most likely, you have a lot of these in your cupboard and it’s so worth it!

Sweet Potato Filling

  • fresh sweet potatoes
  • pineapple
  • sugar – I prefer coconut sugar
  • coconut milk (full fat)
  • vanilla extract
  • ground cinnamon
  • ground nutmeg
  • ground cloves
  • chia egg

Crumble Topping

  • old fashioned oats – gluten-free if necessary
  • chopped pecans
  • brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour if necessary
  • ground cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • coconut oil or vegan butter

How to make the best sweet potato casserole recipe (no eggs)

Eggless Sweet Potato Casserole
  • In a small bowl make chia eggs by adding 5 tablespoons water to 2 tablespoons chia seeds and let sit for 5 minutes until thick.
  • Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine cooked sweet potatoes and sugar. Mash with potato masher, hand mixer, or immersion blender until you reach the desired consistency. I prefer large chunks, but you can make it more whipped if you prefer.
  • Stir coconut milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground cloves into the sweet potato mixture.
  • Mix in pineapple and chia eggs and transfer to a large baking dish.
  • In a medium bowl, mix in oats, brown sugar, pecans, flour, cinnamon, salt, and melted coconut oil or melted butter. Mix until moistened. Add a small amount of water or almond milk if necessary. Sprinkle the topping ingredients over the top of the casserole.
  • Bake 30 minutes at 325 degrees or until the topping is golden brown.

How do you store leftover sweet potato casserole?

Begin by letting the casserole cool to room temperature, ensuring it doesn’t stay out for more than two hours to maintain freshness.

Place the casserole in an airtight container. Seal the container securely, and if you’re not planning to enjoy the leftovers the next day, remember to label them with the date.

The sweet potato casserole can be stored in the fridge for 3 to 5 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months. However, the texture will be affected, and the topping will no longer be crunchy.

When you’re ready to enjoy your leftovers, reheat the casserole in the oven at 325°F until heated. Remember, trust your senses – if something seems off, it’s best to err on the side of caution and discard it.

FAQ’s

Can sweet potato casserole recipe no eggs be made ahead?

Yes! Making your egg-free sweet potato casserole ahead of time is super easy and a great idea if you’re planning a busy Thanksgiving day or holiday season.

I suggest making and baking the sweet potato mash filling only. Allow it to cool down and wrap with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for 3-5 days.

When you are ready to serve it, add the pecan crumble topping and cook the casserole in the oven at 325°F until it’s heated through to ensure a crunchy topping. 

Can you freeze sweet potato casserole?

Yes, but this Best Ever Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe (No Eggs) will no longer have a crunchy topping. It still tastes delicious, so if that doesn’t bother you, place the casserole in an airtight container. Seal the container securely, label it with the date, and place it in the freezer. The sweet potato casserole can stay in the freezer for 1-2 months.

Do you have to put eggs in sweet potato casserole?

No! You can make this delicious egg-free sweet potato casserole recipe using chia eggs.

    I love how you’ve transformed this casserole by adding pineapple and pecan nuts! The acidity of the pineapple balances really nicely the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
