What’s In This Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

The ingredients in this Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl are not just flavorful; they work in harmony to create a balanced meal that will keep you energized throughout the morning. Each component brings its own unique benefits, and together they transform simple ingredients into something truly special.

• 1 large sweet potato (about 300 grams): This is the star of the show! Rich in vitamins A and C, sweet potatoes offer a sweet, creamy base that’s both filling and nutritious.
• Pinch of cinnamon: This warm spice enhances the flavor of the sweet potato and adds a cozy touch to your breakfast.
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (lightly packed): Bursting with flavor and antioxidants, raspberries bring a refreshing tartness that balances the sweetness of the dish.
• 1/4 cup powdered peanut butter (plus some water to mix in): This ingredient adds a nutty richness and a boost of protein without the heaviness of regular peanut butter.
• Pinch flaky sea salt: A touch of salt elevates the overall flavor, making each bite more delicious.
• Maple syrup (optional, to taste): For those who love a hint of sweetness, a drizzle of maple syrup can take the dish to the next level.

Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl Instructions

Making your Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl is a straightforward process that comes together beautifully. Follow these simple steps to create a delicious breakfast that will start your day on the right foot.

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a small baking sheet with tinfoil. This will make clean-up a breeze, and the foil helps the sweet potato cook evenly.
2. Place the sweet potato onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to poke a few holes in it with a fork; this allows steam to escape and helps it cook thoroughly. Bake until fork-tender, which usually takes about 1 hour.
3. Once the sweet potato is tender, carefully remove it from the oven and let it sit until it’s cool enough to touch. Don’t rush this step; you want to avoid burning your fingers!
4. When it’s cool, peel the sweet potato and place it in a large bowl. Its flesh should be soft and fluffy. Add in a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the flavor and mash everything together until it’s creamy.
5. Divide the mashed sweet potato between two bowls. The creamy texture should be inviting and comforting.
6. Now, it’s time to add the fresh raspberries. Divide them evenly between the bowls. The vibrant color of the raspberries against the sweet potato makes for a stunning presentation.
7. In a separate medium bowl, place the powdered peanut butter and add a little bit of water, mixing until you reach your desired consistency. This can be a spreadable paste or a drizzled sauce—whichever you prefer.
8. Divide the peanut butter mixture between the two bowls, adding that delightful nutty flavor to the mix.
9. Top each bowl with a pinch of flaky sea salt to enhance the flavors. If you have a sweet tooth, drizzle a touch of maple syrup over the top to finish it off.
10. Finally, grab a fork and mash everything together in the bowl. The mix of colors, flavors, and textures is sure to bring a smile to your face. Enjoy your Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl!
