I’m a big fan of stuffed sweet potatoes. I love them for lunch or dinner. And now I’m even loving them for breakfast! These Loaded Breakfast Sweet Potatoes are a fun and easy way to change up your regular breakfast routine. And the best part is they are totally customizable. It’s also simple to make as few or as many as you need.

These Loaded Breakfast Sweet Potatoes are what I like to call a “non-recipe recipe”. Because you could very easily make this entire recipe without measuring out a single thing. But don’t worry if you’re an exacting person like myself, because I have included this information below!

To make this recipe, start by roasting a couple halved sweet potatoes cut-side down until they are mostly soft. Then flip them over, drizzle them with honey and add a pinch of cinnamon. Then roast them for a few more minutes until they are caramelized and sweet. Now for the best part. Load them up with whatever you like! My personal preference is a big spoonful of Greek yogurt, a couple banana slices and a sprinkle of granola and cacao nibs.

Some other ideas include: cottage cheese, nut butter(s), jellies/jams, berries, chopped nuts, trail mix, shredded coconut, whatever your heart desires! I think it would be very hard to mess these up.

If you give my Loaded Breakfast Sweet Potatoes a try, let me know. I’d love to see and hear about your favorite combos!

Cheers,
