Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

Mashed Sweet Potato with Coconut Clusters, Raw Cacao Nibs, and Sliced Plum

This isn’t so much of a recipe, as it is an idea.  It’s so simple that I struggle to call it a recipe.  It’s the perfect Fall or Winter breakfast to fill you up with delicious whole food on a chilly morning.  The toppings are completely interchangeable with your toppings of choice. I commonly add my oil-free granola to this.  To speed up the cooking time, you could peel the sweet potatoes and chop them into chunks. I prefer to steam them whole (with only the tips cut off to release the steam), because I want them to steam until they’re really soft and can mash easily.  I find that if I steam them peeled and chopped, they get mushy in my steamer basket, which isn’t fun to clean.
