sweet potato sweetness.

{sweet potato bake with yogurt, walnuts, and cranberries}

I stumbled upon a recipe the other day for a sweet potato pudding. I love sweet potatoes... I think they are one of God's greatest gifts to us. First, they are so orange; their brightness is so much fun, and whenever food is fun, I like it more. Second, they are really good for you; full of antioxidants and fiber and good good things. Third, they are versatile; this recipe was presented as a dessert dish... but I decided to morph it into a breakfast.

So this morning's breakfast was a sweet potato bake, with toasted walnuts and cranberries.

Sweet Potato Bake:
2 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 Tablespoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup ground oats
1/2 milk (I used vanilla soy)
1 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
1/4 cup walnuts
1/4 cup cranberries

Mix together sweet potatoes, cinnamon, and vanilla. In a separate bowl combine eggs, oats, milk, salt and brown sugar. Fold in sweet potato mixture. Top with crushed walnuts, cranberries, and extra cinnamon. Bake at 350degrees for 20 minutes. Serve with vanilla yogurt and sprinkled cinnamon.
