Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Medium Pot
- Baking Dish
- Whisk
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Base
- 2 cups sweet potatoes peeled and cubed
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup pecans chopped
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Batter
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Topping
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a medium pot, bring water to a boil and add cubed sweet potatoes. Cook for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed sweet potatoes with brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well until blended.
- In another bowl, whisk together milk, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Pour the sweet potato mixture evenly into the greased baking dish.
- Gently pour the batter over the sweet potato layer, spreading evenly to cover.
- Slowly pour the water over the top without stirring. This helps create the cobbler texture as it bakes.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let it cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream!
Notes
This cobbler tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and warm before serving. Try topping it with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgence.
