Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 4 cups mashed)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4-1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla non-dairy milk (almond milk recommended)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted almond butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
Dry Ingredients & Spices
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
- Wash the sweet potatoes: Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the sweet potatoes: Bake for about 45-60 minutes or until the sweet potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork, indicating they are tender inside.
- Cool and peel: Allow the baked sweet potatoes to cool enough to handle. Carefully remove and discard the skins, transferring the soft flesh into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix ingredients: Add the almond milk, vanilla bean paste, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ground flax seeds to the sweet potato flesh. Use an electric mixer to beat everything together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
- Serve: Transfer the sweet potato mixture to bowls. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon. Enjoy warm or chilled.
Notes
- If the sweet potatoes were refrigerated before mixing, gently warm the mixture on the stove before serving for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the amount of non-dairy milk to reach your desired consistency.
- This breakfast bowl is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, making it suitable for those with related dietary restrictions.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey if preferred.
- For added texture and nutrition, consider sprinkling chopped nuts or seeds as a topping.
