Ingredients
  • cooking spray, for the baking dish
  • 6 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoon butter, softened
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 11-by-7-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Put the sweet potatoes in a pot just large enough to fit and fill with water just to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, for 30-35 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel the sweet potatoes, place in a bowl, and mash.
  3. Combine the mashed sweet potatoes, melted butter, and next 4 ingredients. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Spoon into the baking dish.
  4. In a bowl, combine the brown sugar and remaining ingredients. Sprinkle over the sweet potato mixture. Bake for 30 minutes.
