Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 3-¼ pounds sweet potatoes (peeled and chopped into large chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup milk or half and half
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • salt (to taste)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup all purpose flour (for a sturdier streusel add an additional heaping tablespoon of flour)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup chopped pecans
  • 3 cups mini vegan marshmallows (or more, if you'd like)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, fill it with water and add the chopped sweet potatoes.
  2. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes.
  3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  4. Add the unsalted butter, milk (or half and half), ground cinnamon (or pumpkin pie spice), brown sugar, and salt to the drained sweet potatoes.
  5. Using a potato masher or ricer, mash until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, salt, and chopped pecans.
  7. Mix until crumbly but well-combined.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  9. Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly in a baking dish.
  10. Sprinkle the prepared streusel topping over the mashed sweet potatoes.
  11. Top with mini vegan marshmallows as desired.
  12. Bake in preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until golden brown on top.
