Description
Sweet Potato Pecan Cobbler is a delightful dessert that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the rich, nutty flavor of pecans, featuring a creamy filling topped with a buttery crust.
Ingredients
- Sweet Potatoes: 2 cups, mashed (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
- Pecans: 1 cup, chopped
- Brown Sugar: 3/4 cup, packed
- Ground Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Ground Nutmeg: 1/2 teaspoon
- Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup
- Milk: 1/2 cup
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes by peeling and chopping them into small chunks, then boil until tender and mash.
- In a mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract, then fold in chopped pecans.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add to the sweet potato mixture and stir gently.
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
Notes
