5 from 1 vote

Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium-large sized sweet potatoes (about 650g) peeled and diced into one inch pieces

For the Sweet Potato filling

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon OR pumpkin pie spice your preference
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Streusel/ Oat Crumb Topping

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats optional
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Mini Marshmallows

  • 1 Cup Mini marshmallows

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into 1 inch chunks
  • Cover potatoes with salted water and bring to low boil; cook until soft and tender enough for a fork to pierce easily.
  • Drain the potatoes, then add butter (I like to break into about 1 tbsp. pieces) and mash well.
  • Next add brown sugar, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice and salt to the mashed sweet potato mixture. Stir well incorporating all ingredients. Smooth the top.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the oat streusel topping. Mix well, (I find it easiest to use hands.)
  • Crumble the topping across the smoothed out sweet potato mixture.
  • Bake for 15 minutes then remove and add mini marshmallows, increasing temperature to 425F, cooking until marshmallows melt or are golden brown, whatever your preference—about 5-10 minutes.
