Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup chopped pecans
- 0.25 cup rolled oats (optional)
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into large chunks. Place them in a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them until smooth using a potato masher or a fork.
To the mashed sweet potatoes, add 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter, brown sugar, whole milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Add the eggs to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread it evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining all-purpose flour, chopped pecans, rolled oats (if using), granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix together until crumbs form.
Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the sweet potato mixture in the casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
If desired, remove the casserole from the oven after 30 minutes, sprinkle mini marshmallows on top, and return to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and slightly melted.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sweet Potato Casserole by Wlw!
