Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

Perfectly fluffy and sweet, I am hooked on filling my baked sweet potatoes with breakfast options like yoghurt, nuts and seeds for a truly satisfying and vibrant breakfast.

Breakfast and sweet potato may not be two things you automatically put together but let me tell you it works every time. I’ve seen a few similar ideas floating around on social media and have been thinking of this recipe for a while now, ever since posting my Cacao Squash Smoothie Bowl where you can swap the squash for sweet potato for a really creamy and luscious smoothie bowl. I’m ashamed it’s taken me so long really, after all, it requires very minimal effort and even more minimal washing up. In fact, you only need one baking tray, a knife and a spoon to create my Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.

I don’t even know if I can call this a ‘recipe’ as it couldn’t be simpler. The only requirement is the baked sweet potato – the rest is up to you. The extra ingredients are purely my recommendations, but even these change daily depending on what fruit I have in the house, which nut butter I am currently devouring or which granola I have my hands on. I love to add a big scoop of coconut yoghurt for texture and temperature contrast, as well as cacao nibs and granola for crunch, dried fruit (here I’ve used goldenberries) for a chewy sweetness and added fibre, chia seeds for some superfood sprinkling, mixed frozen berries for the fruity element and lots of nut butter (I’ve used pecan and fig – read my review here) for a truly delectable bowl.

Serve this any which way you like and bake up a batch of sweet potatoes to offer your friends and family as a weekend brunch. Simply lay out a range of toppings for a brunch-style buffet. You can also have a few spare roasted sweet potatoes on hand for the week and reheat them quickly in the oven or microwave for a speedy breakfast.

These Breakfast Stuffed Sweet Potatoes are sweet, sticky, oozing with flavour, healthy, easy, satisfying, hearty and are open to endless possibilities.

    I don’t like Butternut squash since I can’t have it due to IB but I absolutely love Sweet Potato 🍠,! I have never tried it as a jacket potato before, I have tried them as fries and actually made my own. Rather unbelievable since I an such a beginner cook. I definitely have to try and make the above myself it looks super easy. I didn’t realise you could make it fir a breakfast- that’s amazing. So vibrant and so dreamy with many colours and eat the rainbow 🌈 xxxx I love the dishes you use, where do you get them- I have got 2 patterned pottery bowls but would love to know where you get yours from? They are so photogenic
