Main Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes (approximately 4 cups when mashed)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or other non-dairy milk)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 2 tablespoons almond butter, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (adjust to your liking)
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed powder
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Rinse the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then pierce them a few times with a fork. Place them on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 45-55 minutes, or until they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Alternatively, you can microwave them on high for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through.
- Mash the sweet potatoes: Once cooked and slightly cooled, peel the skin off and mash the flesh in a large bowl until smooth.
- Add the flavorings and mix-ins: Pour in 1/4 cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, almond butter, pure maple syrup, vanilla essence, ground cinnamon, and flaxseed powder. Mix everything well. Add more almond milk as needed to reach a creamy, spoonable consistency.
- Adjust to taste and serve: Taste your sweet potato bowl and adjust cinnamon or maple syrup according to preference. Serve warm, optionally topped with fresh fruits, nuts, or seeds for extra texture and nutrition.
Notes
- You can substitute almond milk with any other non-dairy milk like oat or soy milk.
- Try adding toppings like sliced bananas, pumpkin seeds, or walnuts for added flavor and crunch.
- Flaxseed powder adds fiber and omega-3 fatty acids; if unavailable, chia seeds can be used as an alternative.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free.
- To save time, sweet potatoes can be cooked in advance and refrigerated.
