Ingredients for Sweet potato breakfast bowls

• 900 g sweet potatoes, scrubbed

• 225 g streaky bacon, baked

• 30 ml collagen powder, optional

• 570 ml fresh blueberries

• 1 ripe banana, sliced

• 30 g chopped almonds

How to make Sweet potato breakfast bowls

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).

2. Line a rimmed baking tray with baking parchment. Place the sweet potatoes on the tray and roast for 45 minutes, or until they are very soft and a knife easily pierces through the flesh. Remove from the oven, slice open, and allow to cool for a few minutes.

3. About 30 minutes into roasting the sweet potatoes, start baking the bacon in a separate frying pan. Once cool, roughly chop the bacon and set aside.

4. To prepare the sweet potato purée, cut the ends off the sweet potatoes and peel the skin. Place the roasted flesh into a food processor, then add the coconut milk, vanilla, salt, and optional collagen powder. Purée for about 30 seconds, or until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more coconut milk and process again. If you don't have a food processor, combine everything in a large bowl and stir very well with a wooden spoon.

5. Divide the sweet potato purée between serving bowls. Top with the chopped bacon, blueberries, sliced banana, and chopped almonds, then serve.

6. The bowls can be assembled in advance, but it’s best to add the fruit just before eating. They can be enjoyed cold or gently reheated.
