Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 2-quart (or similar size) baking dish with coconut oil.
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.
Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the sweet potatoes until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or hand mixer.
Stir in the coconut cream, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, mixing well until smooth and fully combined.
In a small bowl, stir the arrowroot starch and filtered water together to create a slurry. Add the slurry to the sweet potato mixture, stirring to incorporate.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
In another small bowl, combine the gluten-free oat flour, brown sugar, and shredded coconut. Stir until evenly mixed.
Sprinkle the flour mixture evenly across the top of the sweet potatoes as the topping.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving. It pairs wonderfully with both savory and sweet dishes!
