Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt. Pierce each sweet potato a few times with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of almond butter on each half of the sweet potatoes.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of maple syrup over each half of the sweet potatoes.
- Evenly sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon over each half of the sweet potatoes.
- Divide the 1 cup of granola evenly between the four halves, sprinkling it over the top of each.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious breakfast sweet potato!
Tips:
- Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and free from blemishes for the best results.
- Microwave the sweet potatoes for a quicker cooking method if you're short on time.
- Feel free to add other toppings like fresh berries, nuts, or seeds for added nutrition and flavor.
- Ensure the sweet potatoes are tender by inserting a fork into the thickest part before removing them from the oven.
- Adjust the amount of maple syrup to suit your taste preference—use more if you like it sweeter or less if you prefer a mild sweetness.
- For a creamier texture, you can mix the almond butter with a bit of milk before drizzling it over the potatoes.
This Breakfast Sweet Potato recipe is a perfect blend of sweetness, crunch, and wholesome goodness. It's a great way to begin your day with a nutritious and energizing meal. Customize it with your favorite toppings or enjoy it as is!
