Ingredients

• 3 cups sweet potato
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• 1 splash vanilla extract
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 4 tbsp melted butter
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 spray nonstick spray
• 1 bowl sweet potato mixture
• 1 layer mini marshmallows
• 1 sprinkle streusel topping

Instructions

1. Wrap each sweet potato in foil and bake at 400°F for about 1 hour, or until fork tender. Let them cool slightly, then peel and mash. You’ll need about 3 cups total.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
3. Add your mashed sweet potatoes into the bowl and mix with a hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, chopped pecans, salt, and melted butter. Stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
5. Spray a 2.5qt baking dish with nonstick spray. Spread the sweet potato mixture evenly in the dish.
6. Add a layer of mini marshmallows on top, then sprinkle the streusel topping over the marshmallows.
7. Bake at 375°F for 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the marshmallows are melted and lightly toasted.
8. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. The marshmallows will be perfectly gooey, and the topping adds that perfect crunch.
