Ingredients

• 4 large (about 2 pounds) sweet potatoes
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups (melted) unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 2 large (beaten) eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.33 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cups (packed) brown sugar
• 1 cups chopped pecans
• 0.33 cups (melted, for topping) unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes, then chop them into chunks. Boil in a large pot of water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, prepare the topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, and chopped pecans. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.

Step 6

Evenly sprinkle the topping mixture over the sweet potato base.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 8

Let the soufflé cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy Grandma's Sweet Potato Soufflé warm!
