INGREDIENTS

3 cans cut yams (40 oz.), drained
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
1 ½ cups quick cooking oats
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 ½ cups butter, softened
1 ½ cups low fat milk (2%)
3 cups, mini marshmallows
Optional: 1 ½ cups whole cranberry sauce

(Portions can be reduced proportionally for fewer than 12 servings.)

INSTRUCTIONS

Prep Time: approximately 10 minutes.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Add butter and milk until mixture resembles a paste.

3. Place yams into a non-stick baking pan so that they cover the entire bottom in a single level. (Optional add cranberry sauce around the yams before putting mixture on top.)

4. Pour mixture evenly over all the yams in the pan.

5. Bake in the pre-heated oven for 25 minutes.

6. Cover the entire pan mixture with the marshmallows and return everything to the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until the marshmallows are a golden brown.

7. Remove from oven and let everything rest for about 5 minutes so yams can absorb remaining liquid.

8. Serve and enjoy!

Serves 12-14
