How to Make Maple Squished Sweet Potato Bake W Spiced Pecan Streusel

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, bring 2 lbs of peeled and cubed sweet potatoes to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Drain the sweet potatoes well.
  4. Transfer the cooked sweet potatoes to a stand mixer. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Mix until the butter is melted and incorporated.
  6. Add 1/2 cup of milk, 1/2 cup of maple syrup, and 2 large eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl.
  7. Continue mixing until the sweet potato mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  8. Pour the sweet potato mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  9. To make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup chopped pecans, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
  10. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  11. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture.
  12. Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are heated through and the streusel is golden brown and crunchy.
