Pecan Streusel Topping Food

SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE WITH PECAN STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil (no need to salt). Add the sweet potatoes and cook until soft and very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Meanwhile, make the topping: Melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave. (Alternatively, melt it in a small pan over low heat and transfer to a medium bowl.) Add the brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon and mix until well combined. It should look a little clumpy. Stir in the chopped nuts and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mash the cooked and drained sweet potatoes with a potato masher or large fork until very smooth. Add the melted butter, salt, sugar, and nutmeg and mix well. Mix in the eggs. It's okay if there are some lumps. Set aside.
• Transfer the sweet potato mixture to a 2-quart baking dish and spread evenly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the sweet potato mixture and bake, uncovered, for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is nicely browned. Let cool slightly before serving.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: You can assemble and refrigerate the casserole up to 2 days ahead of time.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: You can freeze the unbaked sweet potato portion of the recipe, tightly covered, for up to 3 months. Before baking, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then proceed with the recipe instructions.

OAT MUFFINS WITH PECAN STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, and salt in medium bowl. Drizzle the melted butter over top and stir to combine. The mixture will be clumpy. Set aside.
• Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners (or grease with a nonstick baking spray with flour in it).
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the oats and cook, stirring frequently, until the oats turn golden and fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the oats to a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process into a fine meal. Add the flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda to the oats and pulse until the mixture is uniform.
• Melt the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the milk and eggs and whisk until the mixture is smooth (if you have lumps, I find it helpful to warm the mixture a bit in the microwave.) Gradually add the flour/oat mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with the whisk until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened. Do not over-mix; the batter will look a little lumpy -- that's okay. You will notice that the batter is very thin; let it sit for 20 minutes to thicken (don't worry -- it will thicken quite a bit). Meanwhile, adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Using an ice cream scoop with a wire scraper or large spoon, divide the batter equally into the muffin cups; they will be filled to the rim. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the batter. Bake until golden and domed, and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. (If your oven has hot spots, rotate the muffin tin halfway through baking.)
• Let the muffins cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Serve warm or after they are completely cooled, store in an airtight container.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The muffins can be frozen in an airtight container or sealable plastic bag for up to 3 months. Thaw for 3 - 4 hours on the countertop before serving. To reheat, wrap individual muffins in aluminum foil and place in a preheated 350°F oven until warm.

SWEET POTATO PINEAPPLE CASSEROLE WITH PECAN STREUSEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• To roast the potatoes: Scrub the potatoes and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees F until completely tender, about 1 hour - 90 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. This is plenty of time to make your streusel topping and prep your pineapple.
• To make the Streusel Topping: Chop the dates Combine the chopped dates with the brown rice flour, pecan pieces, cashew butter, and a dash of salt. Use your hands to crumble together, just as you would with a traditional butter streusel topping. You want the streusel to hold together in pea-sized bits. If it's not sticking, add a tablespoon of water and mix well. Check again, and add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you get the pea-sized bits. Set aside mixture for later.
• To make the Casserole: Core and dice your pineapple. You need about 2 cups diced pineapple. Combine the pineapple with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. The potatoes are done with a knife can easily slide in and out. Remove from oven and let cool. When potatoes are cool enough to handle, simply peel off the skins. Combine the sweet potato flesh with the pineapple spice mix. Mash to desired smoothness. For completely creamy, best to use a food processor.
• Spread potato pineapple mixture into a 9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle the Pecan Streusel topping over the top. Bake at 350 degrees F 8-10 minutes, until golden brown on top.

SWEET CHERRY MUFFINS WITH PECAN STREUSEL TOPPING

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• To make the streusel, combine the sugar, pecans, flour, and butter in a medium-sized bowl. Using a pastry blender or fork, mash together the ingredients until streusel resembles the texture of wet sand. Save in refrigerator until ready to use.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and salt, whisking to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the melted and cooled butter, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking to combine. Add the wet ingredients to dry ingredients and gently stir with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. When there are still a few streaks of flour in the batter, add the fresh cherries (that you have prepared beforehand by pitting them, slicing them into quarters and placing them in a mesh strainer to rinse and drain) and fold them into the batter until just combined.
• Line muffin pans with 18 paper or foil muffin cups. Fill each 3/4 full with batter. Remove streusel from refrigerator, and top each muffin with a generous tablespoon of streusel topping. Bake muffins for 20-22 minutes, or until muffins spring back when gently pressed with finger.

CRANBERRY PECAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place an oven on the center shelf and preheat oven to 375 degrees F; lightly grease a 12-cup standard muffin tin (I used baking spray with flour).
• Prepare the streusel: in a small bowl, stir together the flour, sugars, salt, and pecans until evenly combined. Use a fork to press in the butter until the mixture is crumbly without any flour patches.
• Place the cranberries and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a food processor. Pulse a few until very coarsely chopped; think mostly halves or quarters. Some large, barely chopped cranberries are good because they'll add a nice texture and tartness. If you prefer a more subtle flavor, it won't hurt the muffins if you chop them more finely. However, you won't be able to taste as much cranberry flavor.
• Place the flour and orange zest in a large bowl, pressing the zest into the flour to break up any clumps. Add the remaining sugar, baking powder and salt, whisking to combine. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg, half-and-half, and orange juice. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, followed by the melted butter, cranberries and pecans.
• Divide the batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, then top evenly with streusel. Bake for 16-20 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean from the center. Cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
• Muffins will keep in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months (wrap individually before freezing so they don't stick together).

PUMPKIN PECAN STREUSEL TORTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Make the Crust: Combine the pecans, flour, brown sugar, butter, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process until the nuts are finely ground. Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan. Using your hands or the bottom of a dry measuring cup, pat into an even layer. Place the pan on a baking sheet for easy handling and set aside.
• Make the Filling: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the remaining filling ingredients and whisk until smooth. Pour the filling over the crust in the pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but still wobbly in the center.
• Make the Streusel Topping: Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined. Add the butter pieces and, using your fingers, rub the butter into the other ingredients until the mixture is evenly moistened and clumpy. Stir in the pecans and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Once the torte has baked for 30 minutes, remove it from the oven. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the partially baked filling (don't worry that the filling is still a bit liquid; the topping will not sink). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes more, until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown. Let the torte cool completely on a rack, about 4 hours. To serve, run a thin-bladed knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the torte from the sides, then remove the outer ring from the springform pan and transfer the torte to a platter. Slice into wedges and serve with sweetened whipped cream, if desired.
• This torte is best made on the day of serving. Store leftovers, loosely covered with foil, in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

VEGAN STREUSEL PECAN SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Clean the sweet potatoes and put into a large pan covered with water. Boil the sweet potatoes until fully cooked. You can tell if they are cooked with a fork. It should be soft to get the whole fork prongs through the potato.
• Drain the sweet potatoes completely. Let stand for the steam to come off the potatoes to completely cool. This will help you handle them and better to peal.
• Heat oven to 375°
• While the sweet potatoes are cooling make your streusel topping. For a thicker topping you can make double on the streusel topping and pecans. Just alternate the streusel topping and pecans when putting on the toppings.
• In a medium to small bowl add the vegan butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and sea salt. Mix together with a fork until crumbly and then add the ½ cup of chopped pecans. Set aside.
• Peal your sweet potatoes. Put into a large mixing bowl. Add the vegan butter, plant based milk, brown sugar, cinnamon and sea salt. Mix together with a potato masher or hand held electric mixer. Both work very well.
• Oil your 9 x 13 inch baking dish with melted coconut oil or vegetable oil.
• When you are done mixing add the sweet potato mixture to the oiled 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Spread out even and put in preheated oven for 5 minutes to heat.
• After 5 minutes take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and top with the streusel topping. You may have to use your hands to break up the large pieces and spread out over the sweet potato mixture. When you are done spreading the streusel topping sprinkle over the top the extra 1 to 1½ cups of remaining chopped pecans and whole pecans.
• Put in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
• Make your powdered sugar glaze. In a small bowl add 2 cup of powdered sugar, plant based milk and vanilla extract together and mix until all the sugar lumps are out.
• When the casserole is done let it cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the powdered sugar over the casserole with a sieve.
• You can add the glaze to the whole casserole or add it to individual servings. Enjoy!
