Am I the only one who tries to find every possible way to eat dessert for breakfast? I’ve found that stuffing sweet potatoes is a super easy way to do this – and also a super delicious way! We all know that my love for sweet potatoes runs deep – I’m honestly surprised I haven’t turned into a sweet potato yet. But then you stuff one with tons of fresh fruit, nut butter and some granola – and DANG I’m even more in love! 

Insert this LOADED apple pie sweet potato. Was craving all the flavors of apple pie one day, but it was also 9 am, so baking an entire pie and eating it didn’t sound like the best option! So, my mind got turning and I figured the best way to get ALL the flavor in the shortest amount of time was to load it all up in a sweet potato.

Using the microwave, this dish can come together in about 10 minutes – YUP, you heard right! 10 MINUTES! Cooking a potato has never been so easy – just wrap it up in some paper towels, and cook for 2 minutes on each side. And the filling only take about 7 minutes 🙂 All I did was sauté some apples on a fry pan with some coconut oil and cinnamon. Loaded the potato up with some yogurt mixed with cinnamon, piled on the sautéed apples and then added a biggest drizzle of almond butter (because a meal is never complete without some nut butter)! And there you have it, apple pie for breakfast that you can feel good about!
