Why This Recipe Is So Popular
This dish brings together the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with comforting, hearty flavors. It’s easy to prepare and makes a great meal for any day of the week. Plus, the simple ingredients make it a wholesome choice that everyone can enjoy.
Step 1
Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Then, cut the butter into the mixture until it looks crumbly.
Step 2
In a bigger bowl, combine the yams and cranberries. Stir in about half of the flour mixture until everything is well coated. Spread this mixture evenly in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the rest of the crumbly topping over the yams and cranberries.
Step 3
Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 25 minutes. After that, take it out and scatter the marshmallows on top. Put it back in the oven and bake until the marshmallows turn golden and toasted, which should take around 10 more minutes. Let it cool a bit before serving and enjoy!
