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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Spread the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the sweet potato bake is heated through.

Step 8

Allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it as a side dish with your favorite holiday meal or as a sweet treat!
