Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Base

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (approximately 4 cups when mashed)
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter, unsalted
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adjust to your liking)
  • 2 tablespoons flaxseed powder

Toppings (optional)

  • Fresh fruit (such as berries or sliced bananas)
  • Banana bread granola
  • Extra cinnamon for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drippings and bake for 45-60 minutes or until a fork easily pierces through the potatoes.
  2. Cool and Scoop the Potatoes: Remove the baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool until safe to handle. Peel off the skins carefully, then add the soft flesh to a large mixing bowl. Discard or save the skins for another use.
  3. Mix and Fluff the Potatoes: Add almond milk, vanilla essence, almond butter, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and flaxseed powder to the mashed sweet potato. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until fluffy and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are well combined. If prepared in advance and refrigerated, gently warm the mixture on the stovetop over low heat before serving.
  4. Serve with Toppings: Spoon the fluffy sweet potato mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance flavor and presentation. Enjoy as a comforting and nutritious breakfast or side dish.
