Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Boil the sweet potatoes in a large pot until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in milk, melted butter, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
Spread the mashed sweet potatoes evenly into the prepared baking dish.
In a separate bowl, combine walnuts, brown sugar, flour, cold cubed butter, and cinnamon. Mix until the topping becomes crumbly.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is heated through.
Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Make-Ahead Option: You can assemble this casserole the night before and refrigerate it. Bake just before serving.

Nut-Free Version: For a nut-free option, skip the walnuts and use a crunchy topping like crushed cornflakes or oats.

Vegan Option: Substitute the butter with plant-based butter and use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan-friendly version.
