Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Roasted sweet potato (cubed or mashed)
Cinnamon
Maple syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)
Nut butter (like almond, peanut, or cashew)
Sliced banana or fresh berries
Chia seeds or flaxseeds
Greek yogurt or plant-based yogurt (optional)
Granola or crushed nuts
Sea salt (just a pinch, to enhance flavor)

Directions

I roast the sweet potato at 400°F (200°C) for about 30–40 minutes until tender, then let it cool slightly. I either mash it or cube it, depending on how I want the texture.
I warm the sweet potato in a bowl if I’ve prepped it ahead, then sprinkle with cinnamon and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey if I want extra sweetness.
I add a spoonful of nut butter, fresh fruit, a sprinkle of seeds, and a scoop of yogurt if using.
I top it all off with crunchy granola or chopped nuts and serve it warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes 1 serving, but it’s easy to scale up. It takes about 5 minutes to assemble with pre-roasted sweet potatoes, or around 40 minutes total if roasting from scratch.

Variations

Sometimes I stir cocoa powder into the sweet potato for a chocolatey twist or use pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon. I’ve also topped it with shredded coconut, dried fruit, or even a spoonful of jam. For a savory version, I skip the sweetener and top with sautéed greens, avocado, and a fried egg.

Storage/reheating

I store roasted sweet potato in the fridge for up to 4 days. I reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop, then build the bowl fresh with toppings. It’s perfect for meal prep—I roast a few potatoes on Sunday and have easy breakfasts ready to go all week. Delicious Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

FAQs

Can I make this bowl ahead of time?

Yes, I roast the sweet potatoes in advance and store them in the fridge. In the morning, I just reheat and add toppings.

What kind of sweet potatoes work best?

I use orange-fleshed sweet potatoes like Garnet or Jewel—they’re naturally sweet and creamy when roasted.

Is this breakfast high in protein?

It can be. I add Greek yogurt, chia seeds, and nut butter to boost the protein content and keep me full longer.

Can I eat this cold?

Yes, it’s great cold too—especially in warmer months. I just chill the roasted sweet potato and top it like a yogurt bowl.

Is this recipe vegan?

It is if I use plant-based yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey. Everything else is naturally plant-based.

Conclusion

This Delicious Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl is one of my favorite ways to fuel the day. It’s cozy, customizable, and full of wholesome ingredients that taste as good as they make me feel. Whether I go sweet or savory, it always starts my morning off on the right note.
