Ingredients
1small butternut squash (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds), halved lengthwise and seeds removed
2small sweet potatoes
3tablespoonspure maple syrup
1/2cupunsweetened vanilla almond milk
1tablespoonvanilla extract
1egg
3/4teaspoonground cinnamon
1/8teaspoonground cloves
For the topping:
1/2cupgluten free oats
1/4cupalmond flour
1/4teaspooncinnamon
1 1/2tablespoonsmelted coconut oil (butter or vegan butter also works!)
1tablespoonpure maple syrup
1/4cupraw almonds, roughly chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place butternut squash halves on baking sheet, flesh side down. Use a fork to poke holes in sweet potatoes and place on baking sheet. Roast for 45-55 minutes or until squash and sweet potatoes are fork tender.
Once squash and sweet potatoes are done roasting, allow to cool for 10-15 minutes, then scoop the flesh out of both and add to a large bowl. Next add in maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, egg, cinnamon and cloves; use an electric mixer to beat together until smooth. You can also mix by hand if that's easier for you, just make sure everything is well combined. Pour into a greased 9x9 inch pan.
Next make the topping by combining oats, almond flour, cinnamon, coconut oil and pure maple syrup; stir well to combine. Add in chopped almonds. Sprinkle mixture evenly over the top of the squash mixture.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the topping begins to turn slightly golden. Serves 9 people, about heaping 1/2 cup each.

To make vegan: Instead of an egg, use 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil
