Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups yams (peeled and cubed)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup quick oats
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place the peeled and cubed yams in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Mash the yams with a potato masher until smooth. Stir in 4 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, the granulated sugar, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
Spread the yam mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a medium bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, flour, oats, and chopped pecans. Mix until the ingredients come together in a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the yam mixture in the baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp.
Allow the casserole to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
