Description
A simple, warm breakfast made using baked sweet potatoes topped with fresh berries and nuts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pierce each potato several times with a fork.
- Bake the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are soft when squeezed.
- While the potatoes bake, combine the mixed berries, chopped nuts, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a small bowl. Stir gently.
- Once baked, carefully slice each sweet potato lengthwise down the center, opening it up without cutting all the way through. Gently fluff the inside flesh with a fork.
- Spoon the berry and nut mixture evenly over the opened sweet potatoes.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- If you use frozen berries, you can microwave them for 30 seconds before mixing to help release their juices.
- For added protein, stir 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt into the berry mixture before topping the potatoes.
