The Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl is a cozy, nutrient-packed way to start the day, combining mashed sweet potatoes with yogurt, nut butter, fruit, seeds, and spices. It’s quick, customizable, and naturally gluten-free—perfect for a warm, satisfying breakfast.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked sweet potatoes (roasted or mashed)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt
  • 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/2 banana or 1/4 cup fresh fruit (e.g., berries, apple slices)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 2 tbsp granola (optional, for crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes ahead of time by roasting or steaming and mashing them. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
  2. Warm the mashed sweet potatoes slightly in the microwave or enjoy them cold.
  3. Scoop the sweet potatoes into a bowl and swirl in the yogurt.
  4. Drizzle with nut butter and top with chia seeds, cinnamon, and desired fruit.
  5. Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if using, and add granola for crunch if desired.

Notes

  • For added creaminess, mash sweet potatoes with a splash of coconut milk.
  • Boost protein with a scoop of protein powder or cottage cheese.
  • For a savory version, skip the sweet toppings and add a fried egg, avocado, and paprika.
  • Canned sweet potatoes work if unsweetened—just mash before using.
  • Use orange-fleshed varieties like Garnet or Jewel for best flavor and texture.
