Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts
• 0.5 cup rolled oats
• 0.5 cup brown sugar (for streusel topping)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for streusel topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain well and transfer to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, milk, 1 cup of brown sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Beat the eggs lightly in a small bowl, then stir them into the mashed sweet potato mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing it out into an even layer.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, prepare the walnut streusel topping. Combine the flour, chopped walnuts, rolled oats, 0.5 cup of brown sugar, and 4 tablespoons of cold butter. Use a fork or your fingers to mix until crumbly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this sweet and crunchy casserole as a perfect side dish or holiday treat!
