Vegan sweet potato casserole that's quick, easy and perfect for holiday meals!

Sweet potato casserole is a fantastic dessert that (for some reason) always shows up in the middle of a holiday meal! It's a classic that always delivers on sweetness and satisfaction!

Its only flaw is that the traditional marshmallow topping provides little textural difference from the yams underneath.

However, the gluten-free, vegan topping on this variation offers a crispy, caramelized crunch while still delivering silky sweetness underneath.

You only need a few basic ingredients for this yummy dessert, and it requires minimal effort! When you've been cooking for hours, this winner dessert is the perfect go-to!
