Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then prick them with a fork and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes or until tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly until they can be handled.
- Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving a small border for structure.
- Place the scooped-out flesh in a mixing bowl and add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, milk, and vanilla extract. Mash until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the mixture back into the sweet potato skins, mounding slightly.
- Top each with mini marshmallows.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until marshmallows are golden and gooey.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and bake just before serving.
- Top with chopped pecans for added crunch.
- Use maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different flavor profile.
