Ingredients
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 4 cups mashed)
Mix-ins
- 1/4-1/2 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
- Preheat: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
- Wash Potatoes: Use a vegetable brush to thoroughly clean the sweet potatoes, then place them on a baking sheet lined with foil.
- Bake: Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until they can be easily pierced with a fork, indicating they are tender.
- Cool Potatoes: Allow the sweet potatoes to cool until they are safe to handle, then carefully peel off the skin and transfer the flesh to a large mixing bowl.
- Beat Until Fluffy: Add the unsweetened vanilla non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ground flax seeds to the bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is smooth and fluffy. If the potatoes were refrigerated, you can gently heat the mixture on the stove before serving.
- Serve: Spoon the fluffy sweet potato mixture into bowls and garnish with fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for a delightful breakfast bowl.
