Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Toppings
- 2 cups blueberries
- 4 tbsp pumpkin seeds
- 4 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, prick them with a fork to allow steam to escape, and place them on a baking tray. Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Cool and Peel: Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool until they are safe to handle. Peel off the skins carefully.
- Mash and Mix: Place the cooked sweet potato flesh into a bowl. Add hemp seeds, almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture until it becomes fluffy and smooth.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide the mashed sweet potato mixture evenly into 4 bowls. Top each bowl with blueberries, pumpkin seeds, and a spoonful of plain Greek yogurt for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute plain Greek yogurt with a dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
- Adjust the maple syrup to taste for more or less sweetness.
- Roasting the sweet potatoes until very soft ensures the mash is creamy and fluffy.
- Add a pinch of salt if desired to enhance the overall flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
