Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mash until smooth and combined.
Allow the mash to cool slightly, then add the eggs and mix until well incorporated.
Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by combining flour, pecans, rolled oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
