Simple Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl {grain-free + whole30 and paleo friendly}

An easy, healthy and delicious breakfast bowl you can meal prep in advance. This simple sweet potato breakfast bowl is a great alternative to oatmeal — grain-free, gluten-free, and whole30 and paleo friendly!

There’s something about rolling out of bed to a warm, hearty breakfast {especially during these snowy, cold winter months in Minnesota}. And although I love my warm bowls of oatmeal, sometimes it’s nice to mix things up.

Enter this delicious, comforting and simple sweet potato breakfast bowl; a great grain-free alternative to oatmeal. Of course, it’s Whole30 and Paleo friendly too. I don’t know how paleo people live without oats, but this power sweet potato breakfast bowl is the next best thing. 

And this simple sweet potato breakfast bowl is meal prep friendly. So don’t be discouraged by the 35 minute cook time on this recipe. Yes, sweet potatoes do take some time to cook in the oven, but if you cook them ahead of time you can turn this into an easy-peasy, 5-minute recipe.

Simple Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl 

It’s simple because it’s only 5 ingredients — sweet potato, banana {which you can easily omit if you’re following a strict Whole30}, cinnamon, collagen protein {I prefer Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides} and a splash of almond milk. Simple.

Of course, what’s a sweet potato breakfast bowl without toppings?! So this is where you get to completely customize your bowl. You can add all sorts of toppings: 

• grain-free WholeMe Granola {flavors: lemon berry chia, almond coconut or cinnamon banana chip}
• banana slices
• chia seeds
• Nuts
• Raisins
• Almond butter {or any nut butter}
• Greek Yogurt
• Honey or maple syrup
• Unsweetened shredded coconut
• More cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

And seriously if you haven’t tried WholeMe’s Granola you must! There are a local Minnesota brand that I adore and their granola cluster are the perfect addition to this grain-free, simple sweet potato breakfast bowl. Ps — they just launched a new flavor, salted peanut chocolate that is to die for.
