This delicious stuffed sweet potato is the perfect recipe to make every morning special – yes, even Monday Mornings! Not only is it a great breakfast recipe that will keep you full all morning, but it’s also a great mid-week meal. It’s a super simple recipe that is just as healthy as it is filling, so it’s a great one to up your sleeve, especially if you have a sweet tooth as I do.
The sweet potato really shines here, and you can stuff it with all your favourites. I love swapping my fillings based on what ingredients I have in the house or what’s in season. For breakfast, I make my stuffed sweet potato with nut butter, banana, blueberries and drizzled with coconut nectar. This combination of sweet delicious flavours and textures comes together to create a beautiful dish that I, personally, can devour any time of the day – breakfast, brunch, afternoon snack or even just for dinner (and dessert!)
As always, the base of this recipe is vegan, gluten-free and paleo-friendly and packed full of delicious protein, nutritional fibre and the perfect combination of sweet flavours but you can always swap a few ingredients around to help it meet your requirements, and preferences, if required. The recipe itself has very little prep-work but does have a little bit of prep-time needed. The sweet potatoes need to bake for around 30 minutes (for a medium potato) so make sure to factor this in before making. However, if you do find yourself a little short of time, but still craving one, speed up the baking process by microwaving them on high for around 5 minutes. But make sure to stab them beforehand so they don’t explode.
