Ingredients
Sweet Potato Casserole
- 3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, Any fat content works
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/3 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions
- Add the sweet potatoes to a pot and fill it with enough cold water to cover the potatoes. Bring them to a boil and cook until they're fork tender, about 20-30 depending on how big the chunks are.
- Preheat oven to 350° F. While the sweet potatoes cook, combine all of the dry ingredients for the streusel in a bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir together until the mixture looks like wet crumbly sand.
- Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in the same pot you cooked them in. Add the maple syrup, egg, milk, Greek yogurt, vanilla, and spices. Continue to mash until everything is smooth, creamy, and well combined. For an extra smooth and fluffy filling use a hand mixer or stand mixer.
- Pour the filling into a lightly greased casserole dish. An 8×11'', 9×13'' or deep dish 10'' pie pan will all work. Spread the streusel all over the top of the casserole. Bake for 30-40 minutes.
