Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 2 large Sweet Potatoes The creamy foundation of this bowl, packed with vitamins, especially beta-carotene.
  • 3 tablespoon Hemp Seeds Provides a nutty flavor and healthy fats; can easily be swapped with flax seeds for similar benefits.
  • ½ cup Almond Milk Offers a dairy-free creaminess without added sugars; feel free to substitute with coconut or oat milk.
  • 2 tablespoon Almond Butter Contributes rich creaminess; look for unsweetened varieties, or switch it out for peanut or cashew butter.
  • 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup Adds natural sweetness and a rich caramel taste; honey or agave syrup works well too.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances all the flavors; opt for pure vanilla for the best aroma, or substitute with vanilla paste if needed.
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon Delivers warming spice; ground or freshly grated will work wonders, and apple pie spice can be a nice change.
For the Toppings
  • 2 cups Blueberries Bursting with antioxidants, these juicy gems bring brightness to your bowl; fresh is best for flavor!
  • 4 tablespoon Pumpkin Seeds Add delightful crunch and fiber; sunflower seeds or a mix of your favorite nuts can be used if desired.
  • 4 tablespoon Greek Yogurt Introduces creaminess and protein; go for low-fat, or choose dairy-free yogurt for a vegan-friendly twist.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Wash and pierce the skin of the sweet potatoes with a fork, then place them on a baking tray. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork.
  2. Once the sweet potatoes are fully baked, carefully remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10-15 minutes. When cool enough to handle, use your hands or a knife to gently peel off the skin.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, scoop out the sweet potato flesh and add the hemp seeds, almond milk, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to combine initially.
  4. Using a hand mixer, beat the sweet potato mixture on medium speed until it becomes creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Divide the whipped sweet potato mixture into bowls, creating a comforting base for your toppings. Generously sprinkle fresh blueberries and pumpkin seeds over the top of each bowl.
