Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
Instructions
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into roughly 1-inch pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Add cubed sweet potatoes to the Instant Pot inner pot, drizzling maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg over them. Gently toss to coat evenly.
- Pour 1/2 cup water into the bottom of the Instant Pot to create steam for cooking.
- Close the Instant Pot lid, set the valve to sealing position, and select Manual/Pressure Cook mode on High Pressure for 8 minutes.
- While sweet potatoes are cooking, prepare the crumble topping by mixing rolled oats, coconut flour, and coconut sugar in a separate bowl.
- Drizzle melted coconut oil over the dry crumble ingredients and mix until a slightly clumpy, crumbly texture forms.
- Once cooking cycle completes, perform a quick release of pressure by carefully moving the valve to venting position.
- Mash the cooked sweet potatoes directly in the Instant Pot using a potato masher until desired consistency is reached.
- Transfer mashed sweet potatoes to a 7-inch oven-safe dish or the Instant Pot's inner pot.
- Sprinkle the prepared crumble topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
- If desired, use the air fryer lid or broil in the oven for 3-5 minutes to crisp and golden the topping.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to let the topping set and flavors meld.
Tips
- Uniform Cutting: When cubing the sweet potatoes, aim for roughly 1-inch pieces to ensure they cook evenly and mash smoothly.
- Flavor Boost: For an extra flavor kick, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the sweet potatoes before cooking, enhancing the natural sweetness.
- Crumble Consistency: When mixing the crumble topping, don't be afraid to use your hands to achieve the perfect clumpy texture. This will help create that delightful crunch when baked.
- Crispy Topping: If you have an air fryer lid for your Instant Pot, use it to crisp the topping for 3-5 minutes after adding it to the sweet potatoes. Alternatively, broil it in the oven for a similar effect.
- Cooling Time: Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps the topping set and the flavors meld beautifully, making each bite even more enjoyable.
