In my family, the Best Sweet Potato Casserole recipe is one that’s served up sweet and salty with a delicious, crunchy streusel topping! You’ll love this mashed sweet potato recipe and the nutty brown sugar crunch on top!

Ingredients

  • 4 large sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

  1. 1

    Cook sweet potatoes in desired manner, until soft. See notes.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 2 qt baking dish with nonstick spray (I use coconut oil spray). Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine cooked sweet potatoes, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla, eggs and melted butter. Beat with an electric mixer for about 4-5 minutes, until fluffy and smooth.

  4. 4

    Pour into prepared dish. Bake for 25 minutes.

  5. 5

    While baking, prepare streusel topping by combining brown sugar, flour, pecans, and melted butter in a small bowl. Mix with a fork and set aside.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle the baked sweet potato mixture with streusel and return to oven for about 10-15 minutes until crumble is lightly browned. Serve immediately or cover with foil and serve in 30 minutes.
