Sweet Potato Casserole Baked Oatmeal
Description
The Sweet Potato Casserole Baked Oatmeal blends cooked mashed sweet potatoes with oats and a mix of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, creating a sweet and warmly spiced oatmeal base. Eggs and baking powder provide structure, while milk adds moisture to the mix. The dish is baked in a casserole until set, with a pecan crumble topping made from flour, butter, brown sugar, pecans, and cinnamon adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor. This topping contrasts nicely with the soft, creamy interior of the oatmeal.
The oatmeal is lightly browned at the edges and on top after baking at 375ºF for 45 minutes. It can be served immediately warm or refrigerated for later use. The subtle sweetness from the sweet potatoes and brown sugar pairs well with the spices and crunchy nuts, making it suitable for a seasonal breakfast or brunch option.
The notes mention that around 1 pound of sweet potato yields about 2 cups mashed and that any cooking method for the sweet potatoes is acceptable, allowing flexibility. The recipe time does not include cooking the sweet potatoes, which can add roughly 15 minutes if boiling. The topping should be refrigerated before use to maintain its texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sweet potato $1.33, mashed
- 2 egg $0.54, large
- 1/4 cup brown sugar $0.08
- 1 tsp vanilla extract $0.84
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg $0.05
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
- 3/4 tsp salt $0.04
- 1 tsp baking powder $0.06
- 2 cups milk $0.75
- 3 cups rolled oats $0.51, old-fashioned
PECAN CRUMBLE TOPPING (optional)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour $0.04
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar $0.04
- 2 Tbsp butter $0.20, salted
- 1/4 cup pecans $0.56, chopped
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon $0.05
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Prepare the crumble topping by mixing together the flour, brown sugar, butter, chopped pecans, and cinnamon. Mix the ingredients together until it looks like a crumbly mixture. Refrigerate the topping until ready to use.
- Add the mashed sweet potato to a large bowl along with the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder. Stir until everything is evenly combined and mostly smooth. It's okay if there are a few lumps of sweet potato.
- Pour the milk into the bowl with the sweet potato mixture and stir or whisk to combine. Add the rolled oats and stir to combine again.
- Coat the inside of a 2 quart baking dish lightly with non-stick spray. Pour the oatmeal mixture into the dish. Sprinkle the prepared pecan crumble topping over the oatmeal mixture.
- Bake the oatmeal in the fully preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the pecan crumble topping and edges of the oatmeal are slightly browned. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later. Can be eaten hot or cold.
Notes
- Use about 1 pound of sweet potato to yield the 2 cups mashed needed for the recipe.
- Cook sweet potatoes by boiling, baking, or microwaving according to preference; this time is not included in the total baking time.
- Chill the pecan crumble topping before sprinkling it over the oatmeal to keep it crumbly during baking.
