Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp unsalted almond butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (Simply Organic recommended)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (grade A amber rich recommended)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until they can be easily pierced with a fork, indicating they are tender and fully cooked.
- Cool and Scoop the Potatoes: Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool until safe to handle. Carefully peel away the skins and transfer the sweet potato flesh into a large mixing bowl. Save or discard the skins as desired.
- Mix and Fluff the Potatoes: Add the unsalted almond butter, unsweetened vanilla almond milk (use between 1/4 to 1/2 cup based on your preferred consistency), vanilla extract, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and ground flaxseed to the sweet potato bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes light, fluffy, and thoroughly combined. If refrigerated before serving, gently rewarm the mixture on the stovetop over low heat.
- Serve with Toppings: Spoon the fluffy sweet potato mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with your favorite fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon for enhanced flavor and a beautiful presentation. Enjoy the bowl warm for a comforting and nutritious breakfast.
