Creamy Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl (Vegan+GF)

Wow, September disappeared into October, how did that happen? The days are quickly getting shorter and the chill in the air seems to be here to stay so I’m cozying up my recipes and I hope that you’re as excited about this as I am. This sweet potato bowl is a current favorite of mine with all of it’s comfort-food vibes and versatility. During the summer while I was recovering from my 4-wheeler accident this became my go-to breakfast.

It’s definitely not the most common morning fare but honestly it shouldn’t be all that strange considering sweet potatoes are a staple around the holiday season. Have you ever just wished you could find an acceptable way to eat sweet potato casserole (which, let’s be real, is basically a dessert item) all year long? Well, I’m here to make your wish come true, my friends!

It’s thick, it’s creamy, it’s fast, and it’s definitely filling. Plus, it’s a little bit similar to a bowl of oats or cream of wheat. Just another form of warm carbs, right? I love to top it with all kinds of things based on my cravings but my go-to is always berries of course.

Aside from that I’ll maybe add coconut or cashew yogurt, nut butter, and then something crunchy or chewy like granola or, as in the pictured bowl, squares of a protein bar. Ooooh, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds to go with my Autumn mood.
