Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Base

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 4 cups mashed)

Mix-ins

  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla non-dairy milk (almond milk recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted almond butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly using a vegetable brush to clean off any dirt. Place them on a baking sheet lined with foil for easy cleanup.
  3. Bake the potatoes: Bake the sweet potatoes for 45 to 60 minutes or until you can easily pierce them with a fork, indicating they are tender inside.
  4. Cool the potatoes: Allow the baked sweet potatoes to cool enough to handle comfortably. Carefully remove the skins and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
  5. Mix the ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ground flax seeds to the sweet potato flesh. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
  6. Serve: Transfer the fluffy sweet potato mixture to serving bowls. Serve as is, or warm slightly on the stove if it was refrigerated. Top with fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and an extra sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of non-dairy milk to get your preferred consistency for the bowl.
  • Ground flax seeds add fiber and omega-3s but can be omitted or substituted if allergic.
  • For a different nut butter flavor, try cashew or sunflower seed butter.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are fully cooked for the best texture; baking time can vary depending on size.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, aligning with Paleo dietary preferences.
  • To keep it warm, gently heat on the stovetop or in a microwave before serving if refrigerated.
