How To Make berry-mallow yam bake

• 1

  In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Cut in butter with a fork or pastry blender, until coarse crumbs form.

  In a large mixing bowl, gently stir together the yams and cranberries.

  Lightly toss 1 cup of the crumb mixture with the yams-cranberries.

  Cover with remaining crumb mixture.

  NOTES: I like to spread the love, so I cut the cranberries in half before mixing them with the yams. This takes a few extra minutes, but it's well worth it.
  
  If fresh cranberries are too tangy for you, you can easily substitute a can of whole berry cranberry sauce. Just scramble it up in the can a bit, then dollop around on top the yams, before adding the crumb topping.
  
  I have also made this recipe with fresh yams or sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced, about 3-4 cups. It will need more baking time if you use fresh; plan 50-60 minutes.
  
  If you're in a hurry, you can put the pan under the broiler to toast the marshmallows.
  
  Reheats very well. My family even eats it for breakfast!
  
  *This recipe is easily made gluten free, by using GF oats and GF all purpose flour.
