Just say no to stretchy pants
{Sweet Potato Casserole}
Dark syrup and cinnamon give this casserole a deeper flavor, you won’t even notice that it’s missing some sugar and butter.

Ingredients
Potatoes
3 pounds (3 large) sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Mrs. Butterworth’s sugar-free syrup (the only sugar-free syrup I’ve found that tastes good)
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
Cooking spray
Topping
1/2 cup course oat flour (blend quick oats in blender or food processor–leave some whole oat pieces for texture)
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350°
2. To prepare potatoes, place potatoes in a Dutch oven; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until tender; drain. Cool 5 minutes.
3. Place potatoes in a large bowl; add granulated sugar, syrup, skim milk, salt, cinnamon and vanilla. Beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add eggs; beat well. Pour potato mixture into a 13 x 9–inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.
4. To prepare topping, combine oat flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt; stir with a whisk. Sprinkle oat mixture evenly over potato mixture. Bake at 350° for 25 minutes or just until golden.
5. Preheat broiler (remove casserole from oven).
6. Broil casserole 45 seconds or until topping is bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
