Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
Mix-ins
- 2 tbsp unsalted almond butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (Simply Organic preferred)
- 2 tbsp maple syrup (grade A amber rich)
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes using a vegetable brush to remove any dirt. Place them on a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drippings. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a fork pierces easily.
- Cool and Scoop the Potatoes: Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool until safe to handle. Peel off the skins carefully, then transfer the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Discard or save the skins for another use.
- Mix and Fluff the Potatoes: Add almond butter, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup, ground cinnamon, and ground flaxseed to the potato flesh. Use an electric mixer to beat everything until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined. If made ahead, warm gently on the stovetop over low heat.
- Serve with Toppings: Spoon the fluffy sweet potato mixture into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh fruit, banana bread granola, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to enhance flavor and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- You can adjust the almond milk quantity to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Using grade A amber maple syrup provides the best rich flavor.
- Ground flaxseed adds fiber and a subtle nutty taste, but can be omitted if undesired.
- Sweet potatoes can be baked in advance and refrigerated; warm before serving for best texture.
- Optional toppings like fruit and granola add texture and flavor but are flexible to personal choice.
