Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Mash until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Allow the mash to cool slightly, then add the eggs and mix until well incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

In a separate bowl, prepare the topping by combining flour, pecans, rolled oats, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until crumbly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
