Vegan sweet potato and pumpkin casserole recipe

Who doesn’t love a good sweet potato casserole? It’s one of my holiday favorites! This vegan sweet potato and pumpkin casserole recipe is no exception. It’s super tasty and super easy to make! My husband and I especially love sweet potato casserole. In fact, we are the only two that eat it at my side’s holiday celebrations. So, more often than not, I end up making it. Since time is of the essence (especially these days with babies!), it’s imperative to keep my recipes as simple as possible, but still delicious.

I didn’t have enough sweet potatoes at home, so I added a can of organic pumpkin puree that I had in my pantry. It added another level of richness to the casserole along with extra vitamins. Sweet potatoes and pumpkins are very high in Vitamin A. In fact, one sweet potato has about 550% of your daily recommended dose of Vitamin A!!

Anyways, who’s counting their nutrients around the holidays? Not me! So, time to dig in! Happy holidays!
