Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Drain and return them to the pot.
Add the butter, maple syrup, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to the sweet potatoes. Use a potato masher or fork to mash everything together until smooth and well combined.
Spread the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
To make the streusel topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon in a medium-sized bowl. Add the butter in small pieces and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the mixture into coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sweet potato bake is heated through.
Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it as a side dish with your favorite holiday meal or as a sweet treat!
