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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
- Wash Sweet Potatoes: Thoroughly clean the sweet potatoes using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Bake Potatoes: Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork, indicating they are soft and cooked through.
- Cool and Peel: Allow the baked sweet potatoes to cool enough to handle safely. Then carefully remove their skins and transfer the flesh into a large mixing bowl.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the non-dairy milk, vanilla extract, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ground flax seeds to the mashed sweet potatoes. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is well combined and fluffy. If previously refrigerated, gently heat on the stove before serving if desired.
- Serve: Spoon the sweet potato mixture into bowls and top with your favorite accompaniments such as fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and extra cinnamon for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use foil on the baking sheet for easy cleanup.
- Adjust the amount of non-dairy milk depending on the desired consistency.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey for a different flavor.
- The sweet potato bowl can be served warm or chilled depending on preference.
- Adding extra cinnamon on top enhances the warm spiced flavor.
- Ground flax seeds add fiber and a slight nutty taste, boosting the nutritional profile.
