Ingredients

Sweet Potato Filling:

  • 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (about 3–4 medium sweet potatoes)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Pecan Topping:

  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Prepare the Sweet Potatoes:

    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Peel and boil sweet potatoes until fork-tender, then mash until smooth.

  • Make the Filling:

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes, sugar, melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla, and salt.
    • Mix until smooth and well combined.
    • Transfer to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

  • Prepare the Pecan Topping:

    • In a separate bowl, mix brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and chopped pecans.
    • Stir until crumbly and evenly combined.

  • Assemble and Bake:

    • Evenly sprinkle the pecan topping over the sweet potato mixture.
    • Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and slightly crisp.

  • Serve:

    • Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the filling and topping separately a day in advance. Store in the fridge and assemble just before baking.
  • Nut-Free Option: Swap pecans for rolled oats or crushed graham crackers.
  • Extra Flavor: Add ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the filling for a spiced variation.
