Mashed Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowls | Quick and Easy

Maybe it’s the West African in me, but I really love sweet potatoes. Aside from them being really delicious, they’re also pretty darn nutritious. So I like to find ways to incorporate them into my diet and to find different ways to serve them.  I tend to go for dishes that I can customize based on what my preference is for the day or even on what I have in my pantry. So these mashed sweet potato breakfast bowls are definitely a winner for me.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE MASHED SWEET POTATO BREAKFAST BOWLS

• Sweet Potatoes: Large sweet potatoes work best for this recipe, but if you only have small ones, 3 small potatoes is about the equivalent of 1 large sweet potato.
• Plain or Vanilla Yogurt: If you’re trying to avoid added sugar then plain would be the right choice for you, but I used vanilla yogurt for this recipe for added flavor.
• Toppings: This is totally up to you, but I used strawberries, pomegranate seeds, pepitas, cacao nibs and hemp seeds. But feel free to add whatever you like.

HOW TO MAKE MASHED SWEET POTATO BREAKFAST BOWLS

1. Wash the sweet potatoes. We definitely don’t want to consume dirty produce.
2. Prep the potatoes. Poke the sweet potatoes in different areas with a fork, then wrap them tightly in aluminum foil.
3. Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-40 minutes. Potatoes are ready when they are tender when poked with a fork.
4. Allow the potatoes to cool slightly before handling them to avoid burns. 
5. Mash the potatoes. Cut open the potatoes and scrape out the insides. Add half of the yogurt and mix and mash until the sweet potatoes are smooth.
6. Serve. Split the mixture between two bowls and add your desired toppings.
