This sweet potato breakfast bowl is a warm, nourishing, and naturally sweet way to start the day. Packed with spices, fruit, and creamy toppings, it’s customizable and ideal for make-ahead breakfasts.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked or roasted sweet potatoes, mashed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup almond milk or milk of choice
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter (almond, peanut, or cashew)
  • 1/2 banana, sliced or chopped fruit
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds
  • 1–2 tablespoons chopped nuts or granola
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt

Instructions

  1. If using fresh sweet potatoes, roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30–40 minutes until tender. If using pre-cooked or canned puree, proceed to next step.
  2. Heat mashed sweet potato in a saucepan with a splash of milk until warm and smooth.
  3. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and maple syrup or honey.
  4. Add milk to reach desired creamy consistency, stirring until well blended and heated through.
  5. Spoon the mixture into a bowl and top with banana slices, nut butter, chia or flaxseeds, and nuts or granola.
  6. Optionally, add a dollop of yogurt for extra creaminess and protein.

Notes

  • Use canned sweet potato puree for a quick version—just ensure it’s unsweetened.
  • Switch up toppings with seasonal fruit, protein powder, or coconut flakes.
  • Reheat the base only—add fresh toppings after warming for best texture.
  • Great for kids with simple toppings like berries and granola.
  • Make it vegan with almond milk, maple syrup, and dairy-free yogurt.
