Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Rub sweet potato skins with vegetable oil; place on a baking sheet.

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour; cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (1 hour)

04

Step

Cut sweet potatoes in half; scrape flesh into a large bowl when cool enough to handle. Discard skins. Beat sweet potatoes with an electric mixer until smooth.

05

Step

Transfer 6 cups mashed sweet potatoes to a separate large bowl. Add ¾ cup brown sugar, cream, ¼ cup melted butter, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and salt; beat to combine. Pour sweet potato mixture into an 8x8-inch baking dish. (15 minutes)

06

Step

Place rolled oats into the bowl of a food processor or blender; pulse until finely ground. Combine oats, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, flour, and ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl; cut in 2 tablespoons cold butter with a pastry blender or fork until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over sweet potato mixture. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until sweet potatoes are heated through and oatmeal streusel is lightly browned, 70 to 80 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle immediately with marshmallows, and let stand until marshmallows are melted, about 10 minutes. (1 hour 30 minutes)

For a deeper caramel flavor, try using muscovado sugar in place of dark brown sugar.
If you're short on time, you can use canned sweet potato puree, but the flavor won't be as rich.
The streusel can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Feel free to experiment with different spices in the streusel, such as nutmeg or ginger.
