Ingredients

• 4 large sweet potatoes

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (at room temperature)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. 2

   Wash the sweet potatoes and pierce each of them with a fork to create holes in the skin. Place the prepared sweet potatoes on a baking tray. Bake the sweet potatoes for about 30 minutes, until they are fully cooked.

3. 3

   Once they're done, cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the flesh, being cautious not to damage the skins.

4. 4

   Transfer the scooped-out sweet potato flesh to a large bowl and mash it using a fork.

5. 5

   To the mashed sweet potatoes, add yogurt, brown sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. Thoroughly mix all the ingredients together.

6. 6

   Evenly distribute the mashed sweet potato filling back into the hollowed sweet potato skins.

7. 7

   In the meantime, prepare the topping by combining walnuts, brown sugar, and butter in a bowl.

8. 8

   Sprinkle the prepared topping mixture over the filled sweet potatoes, and then bake them for an additional 15 minutes at 400 degrees F.

9. 9

   Once baked, serve the stuffed sweet potatoes while they're still warm, with maple syrup on the side.
