In a mixing bowl, combined mashed sweet potato, coconut oil, egg, and cashew butter. Mix well.
In a separate mixing bowl combine almond flour, baking soda, and all the fall spices. Mix well. Gently fold into the sweet potato mixture.
Optional: I folded in some dark chocolate to turn it up a notch.
Pour the batter into an 8-inch cast-iron skillet.
Pecan Toppings
Saute the pecans in a saucepan with coconut oil, cinnamon and nutmeg (about 1/2 tsp each). If you wish for a sweeter dessert, add 1 tbsp coconut sugar to coat the pecans.
Cook on medium to low heat for 4 - 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn the nuts.
Add the spiced pecans to the top of the sweet potato pie.
Baking instruction
Bake for 17 minute
If needed, broil it for 2 minutes to give the top a little caramelization, be careful not to burn the nuts.
Top with melted chocolate and whip cream.
Notes
To roast your sweet potatoes, you can put them on a baking tray and bake in the oven at 400 F for 45 minutes. Stick a fork in it after baking, if it appears to be semi-soft, then it is ready to go!I love to cube roasted sweet potatoes and freeze them for smoothies or cut them into toasts or use them for baked goods like this.
