Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Baking dish
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 3 pounds Fresh Sweet Potatoes Choose firm and smooth for best flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Light or dark sugar can be used.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Melted before adding.
  • 1 cup Whole Milk Can substitute with almond milk.
  • 2 large Eggs Fresh eggs work best.

For the Almond Streusel Topping

  • 1 cup Sliced Almonds Can substitute with pecans or walnuts.
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour Use gluten-free flour for gluten-free option.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Add more for extra flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Adjust to taste.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork, then place them on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until tender.
  • Once they are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large bowl and mash it until smooth. Mix in the brown sugar, melted butter, whole milk (or almond milk), eggs, and a splash of vanilla extract for added flavor if you like!
  • In a separate bowl, combine the sliced almonds, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix until the ingredients resemble a crumbly, sandy texture.
  • Spread the creamy sweet potato mixture into a greased baking dish, then sprinkle the almond streusel mixture evenly over the top.
  • Place the casserole in the oven and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

Consider preparing this casserole a day ahead for convenience. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
