Rainbow Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

The foundation for this hearty sweet potato breakfast bowl is a perfectly steamed sweet potato. The steamy, sweet interior is then mashed in a bowl, lightly seasoned with cinnamon and cardamom, and topped with a colorful mix of fresh fruit, pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Could you make the potato in advance and heat it up in the morning? Thank you!

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.

Ella

Super yummy!

Lee

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.

Karen
