Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted
  • 1/4 cup margarine, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and halved (about 2-1/2 pounds)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 can fat-free evaporated milk (5-ounce)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring to form a streusel. Set aside.

3. Place potatoes in a Dutch oven; add water to cover. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 30 minutes or until very tender. Drain well; mash in a large bowl.

4. Stir in 1 cup streusel, granulated sugar, vanilla, egg white, and milk. Spoon into a 2-quart casserole coated with cooking spray; top with remaining streusel.

5. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes.

Notes: Delicious and very easy. The whole can of milk would have been too much, so used only about 2/3 of can. Added a bit of allspice and cardamom and about 3 tbsp rum, and used brown sugar in with potatoes. Delicious! Would actually cut down on sugar next time (in topping and potatoes)
