I am always looking for easy way to get breakfast in my belly in the mornings. Most days, if I’m not careful, it’s coffee and maybe a breakfast bar before work. This, of course, leaves me famished well before lunchtime.  I’ve definitely been working on better time management in the morning to allow more time for a more nutritious breakfast. Which is why these baked breakfast sweet potatoes are so great for my busy mornings, when I have very little time to work with.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR BAKED BREAKFAST SWEET POTATOES

  • Sweet Potatoes: are the main ingredient here and for good reason. Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients and very filling.
  • Aluminum Foil: to wrap your potatoes. This helps to trap the heat and lock in the moisture.
  • Toppings: are completely up to you. I used bananas, coconut yogurt, toasted almonds, cacao nibs, cinnamon, and a drizzle of warm cashew butter. But feel free to add whatever toppings suit your taste.

HOW TO MAKE BAKED BREAKFAST SWEET POTATOES

  1. Bake the potatoes. After washing the sweet potatoes, poke a few holes in them, wrap them in aluminum foil on a baking sheet, and bake them in the oven for 40-45 minutes at 400 degrees F.
  2. Let the potatoes cool.  This is important, as the potatoes will be piping hot and very difficult to work with. 
  3. Fluff the potatoes.  Slide open the sweet potatoes and use a fork to fluff and mash the insides.
  4. Load on the toppings.  This is where you can get creative and add whatever toppings your heart desires.

MEAL PREP TIPS AND STORAGE

To cut down on prep time, having a few pre-baked sweet potatoes in the fridge, ready to go, is really convenient.  I just reheat one, add my toppings, and boom! I’m a functioning adult with a nutritious and satisfying breakfast in minutes. These can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
