Units Scale

For the Sweet Potato Filling

  • 4 large Sweet potatoes (Pick medium-sized ones for even cooking.)
  • 1/2 cup Maple syrup (Provides deep, cozy sweetness.)
  • 1/4 cup Butter (Can use dairy-free alternative.)
  • 1/3 cup Milk or cream (Non-dairy options like almond or oat milk work too.)
  • 2 large Eggs (Helps set the casserole.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (Adds flavor.)
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (Enhances sweetness.)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (For warmth.)

For the Pecan Topping

  • 1 cup Chopped pecans (Chop unevenly for better texture.)
  • 1/4 cup Flour (Can use gluten-free blend.)
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (For drizzling.)

For Topping

  • 2 cups Mini marshmallows (Add near the end for toasting.)

Instructions

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Poke each sweet potato with a fork and roast for 45-60 minutes until very soft.
  2. Peel the cooked sweet potatoes and mash them. Mix in the butter, maple syrup, milk, eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Adjust flavors as desired.

Topping Preparation

  1. In a bowl, combine chopped pecans, flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, melted butter, and maple syrup. Mix until it resembles damp sand.

Baking

  1. Spread the sweet potato filling in a buttered baking dish and sprinkle the pecan topping on top.
  2. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes until hot and set.
  3. Add the marshmallows and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes, watching closely to toast them without burning.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can freeze it without marshmallows for up to 2 months.
