Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes evenly.
Bake Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake them for 45-60 minutes until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Cool and Slice: Allow the baked sweet potatoes to cool slightly before slicing them open lengthwise to prepare for mashing.
Mash Sweet Potato Flesh: Scoop out the sweet potato flesh and mash it together with cinnamon, salt, and pepper until well combined and smooth.
Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer the cooked quinoa or rice first, then add the mashed sweet potato mixture on top for a balanced base.
Add Toppings: Top each bowl with sliced avocado, a dollop of Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt, and your choice of optional toppings such as nuts, seeds, berries, or a drizzle of honey for extra flavor and nutrition.
Serve: Serve the breakfast bowls warm and enjoy a nutritious and delicious start to your day.

Notes

You can substitute quinoa with rice or other cooked grains of your choice.
For a vegan option, use dairy-free yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
The optional toppings can be customized based on your preference and dietary needs.
Sweet potatoes can be baked a day in advance for quicker morning preparation.
Adding a sprinkle of nuts or seeds boosts the protein and healthy fat content.
