Breakfast Baked Sweet Potatoes at Home

I’m making a lifestyle change when it comes to my diet. Or, I guess I should say that I’m researching and making small changes toward a bigger change. My plan is to try it all out for a few months and see how I like it before sharing too much about it. What I will say is that there will be lots of potatoes in my near future and I am not complaining about that!

What I genuinely don’t understand is why we don’t eat sweet potatoes for breakfast more often. Why?? (this also applies to butternut and acorn squash and the other sweet starchy foods) They’re SO reliable for breakfast. Good ✔ Nutritional ✔ Especially filling and satisfying ✔!!

The only downside to sweet potatoes is that they take a while to bake. My solution is to simply bake them the night before. Typically whenever I bake potatoes, I end up baking more then I need for dinner (sometimes on purpose, most of the time not). The unfussy solution to this is simply to pop the leftovers in the fridge and then eat them the next morning for breakfast! Unfussy!

Because, unless it’s the weekend, I do NOT have time in the morning to wait for a sweet potato to bake. Nope. Not gonna happen.

I’ve eaten sweet potatoes for breakfast in a few different ways. First I tried it with a bit of oat meal inside. That was good but almost too filling. My regular SP for Bfast combo is mashed sweet potato + yogurt (with a few toppings of course!).

If it’s a weekend, I’ll bake my sweet potato the morning of. Otherwise, I’ll bake it while I’m making dinner the night before.

Then all you need to do is heat it up and then fill it with your go-to bfast toppings.

Unfussy, unfussy, unfussy!!

And not that it needs any additional sweetness, but I like to drizzle mine with a bit of honey or agave.

Baked Sweet Potatoes for Breakfast. DO IT!! I’ve also tried this with acorn squash AND butternut squash and it’s equally as satisfying and satisfying!
