Ingredients

1 medium sweet potato, cut in half lengthwise
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Dash of cardamom
½ ripe banana, sliced into rounds
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
¼ cup blueberries
¼ cup strawberries
1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

Place the sweet potato halves in a double boiler or steamer basket over an inch of boiling water, and steam over medium-low heat for 20 minutes, or until you can easily pierce it with a fork.
Next, mash the sweet potato inside its skin, then scrape the insides into a large bowl. Add the cinnamon and cardamom and mix well, adjusting seasoning as needed.
Top with the banana, pumpkin seeds, berries, maple syrup, and enjoy!

I didn’t think this would be so great but it is absolutely wonderful, I loved it. I made it just like the recipe stated and I wouldn’t change a thing.

This was delicious. I liked the mashed sweet potato better before I added the mape syrup, so next time I will skip that step. I also think that pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice would work well in this recipe.

Super yummy!

Very good! I used some frozen mango chunks, thawed and mashed, because mango and sweet potato is yummy together and I didn’t have strawberries.
