Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Pierce sweet potato several times with a fork. Place the sweet potato on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until sweet potato is completely tender and oozing a little bit.
    A small baking sheet covered in tin foil with two sweet potatoes on top. The sweet potatoes have holes poked throughout them.
  • Make a slit in the top of the sweet potato. Mash down each side and add toppings: coconut butter, almond butter, coconut flakes, pecans, dark chocolate and cinnamon. Enjoy warm.
    A wooden cutting board with two baked sweet potatoes on top. The sweet potatoes have been sliced open with the insides mashed. There is a fork and knife resting on the cutting board.

Notes

  • Almond butter: I love almond butter in this recipe but any nut or seed butter works.
  • Pecans: Feel free to swap the pecans out with your favorite nut of choice.
