Ingredients

1 lb. sweet potatoes
2 tbsp oat milk
2 tbsp butter
pinch of salt and fresh black pepper
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp pecans
1 tbsp rolled oats
1/2 tbsp flour
1/4 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into cubes.
Boil the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan until very soft, about 20 minutes. Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and transfer them to a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon.
Mash the sweet potatoes with a fork until smooth and add splashes of the milk as you go.
Scrape the mixture into a baking dish or casserole and smooth the top with a spoon.
In a small bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, pecan nuts, rolled oats, and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir until the mixture clumps together.
Sprinkle the topping over the sweet potatoes in an even layer. Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the topping is golden brown.

Notes

Go for sweet potatoes that are firm and smooth. Also avoid the ones with blemishes.

Make sure not to undercook or overcook the sweet potatoes. My trick is to have them soft enough to mash easily but not so soft that they become water-logged.

Measure the nutmeg and cinnamon accurately.
