1 Video | Photo: Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Pecan and Marshmallow Streusel Recipe
Ingredients
- 12 large sweet potatoes
- 3/4 cup (11/2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup toasted pecan pieces
- 1 cup miniature marshmallows
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Wash the sweet potatoes, scrubbing them well to remove any dirt. With a fork, prick the sweet potatoes in a couple of spots and place them on a sheet pan. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center goes in easily.
In a large bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar, and flour together until it's crumbly-looking. Add the cinnamon, salt, pecans, and marshmallows; fold the streusel topping together to combine.
Slice the sweet potatoes lengthwise down the center and push the ends towards the middle so it opens up. Stuff the sweet potatoes generously with the streusel topping and return to the oven. Bake for another 20 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and brown.

Definitely cold butter and maybe extra flour in the south....I kept adding flour and it still really didn't get crumbly. But, the good thing is that, no matter how you make it and messy it is, it's still spectacular. Will try the cold butter tomorow.

Absolutely delicious! It was super easy to make these and they look beautiful on the table. Of course, you must like a sweet side dish if you make these; they are more of a dessert than a potato. But who doesn't like a little dessert with their meal? I will make them over and over again!

This sweet potato recipe has made every person I know that doesn't like sweet potatoes a sweet potato fan. I'm so picky about sweet potatoes and always offer to bring this dish because I haven't had a single sweet potato dish that compares even close to this one. I usually do it the stuffed original recipe for Christmas or for a smaller group of people, but for larger groups and Thanksgiving, I turn it into a casserole. I whip the sweet potatoes with cane sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, a little milk, coconut oil, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a little ground cloves. I always double the streusel recipe so that there's plenty of topping and everyone just raves. This is definitely more like dessert, but that's just the fun of Thanksgiving sweet potatoes. Oh, one more thing. don't let the butter get too soft or it won't be crumbly. If you don't plan on using the streusel right after you mix it, just put it in the fridge until you're ready so it doesn't melt
