Instructions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub the sweet potatoes, and pierce each one
with a fork. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for
about 45 minutes to an hour until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
2 Once the potatoes are cooked, remove from oven and cool for about 5-10 minutes.
Remove the skins and place potatoes in a large mixing bowl. I like to use my
stand mixer for this, so I add them to my stand mixer bowl. You can also just
use an electric handheld mixer with a large mixing bowl. Beat the sweet potatoes
until smooth.
3 Add the milk, oil, honey, egg, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt, and vanilla to
the bowl with the potatoes. Beat with the mixer until the mixture is smooth.
4 Grease a 9" x 13" baking dish, and transfer the sweet potato mixture to the
dish, spreading it evenly with a spoon.
5 Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
6 Make the pecan topping. Roughly chop the pecans, and combine all the topping
ingredients in a separate small or medium-sized mixing bowl, and mix together.
Sprinkle topping over the casserole.
7 Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes, or until bubbly and beginning to brown
around the edges.
