Sweet potato is right up there in my list of all-time favourite foods, it’s so versatile and incredibly delicious (with little effort).

While you may primarily think of sweet potato as a lunchtime or dinnertime food, have you ever tried a simple sweet potato for breakfast? It’s such a tasty and EASY option, perfect for when you’re having a busy week and want to make a bunch of brekkies in advance!

All you need to do is roast up a whole bunch of sweet potatoes until super soft, then top them with your classic breakfast faves like thick Greek yoghurt, berries and granola. Roast a few sweet potatoes at once so you’re all prepped ahead of time, then add the toppings just before you eat.

One serve of this sweet potato breakfast bowl gives you about a quarter of your daily recommended fibre intake, plus it’s also a source of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C and potassium. Such a nutritious way to begin the day!

This recipe is for one of my favourite sweet potato breakfast bowl combinations, which adds yoghurt, granola and fresh berries for additional protein, healthy fats, and flavour. It’s a beautifully balanced breakfast. You can also add a spoonful of almond butter or peanut butter if you like, which is SO good.

My favourite homemade granola to use in this breakfast bowl would probably be my Maple Tahini Granola or my Healthy Cinnamon Granola. But you can always just use a store bought one.

Prep Time: 10 minutes minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour hour

Total Time: 1 hour hour 10 minutes minutes

Servings: 3 serves

Calories: 256kcal

Ingredients

• 3 small sweet potatoes
• 3/4 cup Greek yoghurt
• 3/4 cup granola
• 2/3 cup blueberries
• 2/3 cup strawberries

Optional

• 3 tsp honey

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 180C (350F). Wash the sweet potatoes but leave the skin on. Prick the potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on a baking tray and roast whole until soft, which should take between 45-60 minutes depending on the exact size of the potatoes.
• While the potatoes are baking wash and slice the berries as desired.
• Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, let the potatoes cool a little then cut lengthways down the middle. Top the potatoes with yoghurt, berries and granola, then finish with a drizzle of honey. Serve.
• If you're making these in advance, simply store the cooked sweet potatoes in an airtight container in the fridge and add the toppings just before you want to eat. The sweet potatoes can be used warm or cold.

Notes

*Vegan / dairy free option: replace Greek yoghurt with a non dairy yoghurt like coconut yoghurt or cashew yoghurt. Maple syrup can be used in place of the honey if you don’t use honey.

*Gluten free: make sure to use a gluten free granola.

*Nutrition Facts are calculated without the honey drizzle.
