Ingredients
-
1 ¾ pounds sweet potatoes (3 medium)
-
1 large egg, lightly beaten
-
3 tablespoons bourbon or orange juice
-
2 tablespoons half-and-half
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
¾ teaspoon salt
-
½ teaspoon ground pepper
-
¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
-
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon cold butter, cubed
-
1 tablespoon chopped pecans
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line an 8-inch-square baking dish with foil.
-
Prick sweet potatoes with a fork in several places, then transfer to the pan. Bake until tender, about 60 minutes. Set aside to cool, about 20 minutes.
-
Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Peel and mash the sweet potatoes. Remove the foil from the baking dish and coat the pan with cooking spray.
-
Combine the sweet potatoes, egg, bourbon (or orange juice), half-and-half, cinnamon, vanilla, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spoon into the prepared baking dish.
-
Combine oats, brown sugar, butter, and pecans; mix with your fingertips until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the sweet potato mixture.
-
Bake until the casserole is heated through and the topping is brown, about 35 minutes.
Tips
To make ahead: Bake sweet potatoes (Step 2) up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate. Assemble the casserole through Step 3 up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate. Prepare topping (Step 4) up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate; sprinkle it over the casserole just before baking.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
