Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter in the microwave or over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4
Whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt into the melted butter until the mixture is well-combined and slightly frothy.
Step 5
Fold the shredded sweet potatoes into the wet mixture, ensuring the sweet potato shreds are evenly coated.
Step 6
If using raisins or chopped pecans, gently fold them into the mixture at this stage.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Step 8
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the pudding is set and lightly golden on top.
Step 9
Allow the pudding to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or a drizzle of maple syrup.
