Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp unsalted almond butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (grade A amber rich)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly with a veggie brush to remove any dirt. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drippings and bake for 45-60 minutes until tender and easily pierced by a fork.
- Cool and Scoop the Potatoes: Remove baked potatoes from the oven and let them cool until safe to handle. Peel off the skins carefully and place the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Discard or save skins for another use.
- Mix and Fluff the Potatoes: Add almond butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, cinnamon, and ground flaxseed to the sweet potato flesh. Using an electric mixer, beat everything together until fluffy and well combined. If refrigerated beforehand, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat.
- Serve with Toppings: Spoon the sweet potato mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and a sprinkle of extra cinnamon for an enhanced flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Check potatoes periodically while baking to ensure they do not overcook or burn.
- Adjust almond milk amount for preferred consistency—less for thicker, more for creamier texture.
- Maple syrup can be substituted with honey if not strictly vegan.
- Use freshly ground flaxseed for maximum nutritional benefits.
- This bowl can be made ahead and reheated gently when ready to serve.
