- ½ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- ½ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Notes

- For extra texture, leave small chunks in the mashed sweet potatoes instead of making it completely smooth.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sweet potato mixture for a warm spice note.
