Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl
This sweet potato breakfast bowl is a warm, porridge-like bowl of comfort that's quick and easy to make, filling, and delicious. Paleo, Whole30, and AIP friendly.
When it's morning and you aren't sure what you're going to have for breakfast, this sweet potato bowl is a great option.
You only need a sweet potato and a banana to really make it work (though you could use applesauce or even skip the banana entirely).
So yummy and satisfying!
Toppings for the bowl
There are so many choices for toppings, but here are some of my favorite ones:
-
- Bananas and chocolate tigernut granola (AIP-friendly!). This is what is in the picture.
- Sliced figs and melted coconut butter
- Sliced kiwis, pineapple chunks, and coconut flakes for a more tropical vibe
Really, there are tons and tons of things you can do and that's what makes bowls like this so much fun, especially on a restricted diet like AIP. You feel like the possibilities are endless! (Which is awesome because how often do you feel that way on AIP, right?)
Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 small Sweet Potato
- 1/2 Banana or 1/4–1/2 cup Applesauce (optional, but makes it pretty creamy)
- 1/4 cup Coconut Milk (or Tigernut Milk or Sweet Potato Milk or Banana Milk)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- pinch Sea Salt
- 1 scoop Collagen Powder (optional, omit to make Vegan or Vegetarian)
- 1 tbsp Coconut or Avocado Oil optional (to give the bowl more fat)
Instructions
- Set a saucepan 1/4-filled with water over medium-high heat.
- Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1/2-inch cubes, set into the steamer basket, and place over the saucepan. Cover and steam for 15 minutes (or until the sweet potato pieces are soft).
- Meanwhile, place the banana, collagen powder, milk, cinnamon, salt, and fat (if using) into a medium/large mixing bowl.
- Once the sweet potato is soft, pour the pieces into the mixing bowl as well. Using an immersion stick blender, potato masher, or fork, mash and blend until creamy.
- Scoop the mixture into a serving bowl and add any desired toppings.
