Easy Sweetpotato, Apple, and Cinnamon Breakfast Bowl
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 small or 1/2 large apple, shredded
1 cup shredded sweetpotatoes (about 3 ounces)
2/3 cup old-fashioned oats 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds, whatever you like)
Milk or milk alternative, for serving
Sweetener, for serving (honey, maple syrup, agave, whatever you like)
Instructions:
Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the shredded apple.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining apple, sweetpotatoes, oats, cinnamon, salt, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until done to your liking, 5 to 10 minutes depending on the brand (use package instructions as a guide). (Alternatively, combine the ingredients in a large microwaveable bowl and microwave on high 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the brand.)
Divide the mixture between two bowls and top with the nuts and reserved apple. Serve with milk and sweetener alongside.
Note: If you have some cooked grains on hand—quinoa, farro, or barley, for example—toss in up to 1/2 cup during the last few minutes of cooking. You can also add chopped dried fruit, coconut, or both!
